Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, salt, and anise seeds until combined. Add butter; process until mixture becomes sandy. Add yolks and liqueur; pulse until dough comes together (it may be sticky). Divide dough into 2 pieces and pat into disks. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 days (or freeze up to 1 month).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes using 3 1/2-inch star-shaped cutters. Use a 2 1/8-inch cutter to cut out centers of half of cookies. Transfer like sizes to parchment-lined baking sheets; freeze 15 minutes.
- Bake until cookies are barely turning golden around edges, about 14 minutes for smaller cookies, 16 to 18 for larger. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks; let cool completely. (Cookies can be made ahead up to this point and stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or frozen up to 3 months.)
- Bring jam to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium. Cook 1 minute. Strain through a coarse sieve, discarding any large pieces of fruit. Let cool until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon strained jam onto each large solid cookie, and 1/4 teaspoon on half of the smaller cookies. Lightly dust large tops with confectioners' sugar; sandwich halves together. Serve same day.

SHORTBREAD, 10 WAYS
Shortbread is not only one of the easiest desserts you can possibly make, it's also one of the most adaptable. As long as you keep the butter-to-flour ratio constant (1 stick butter to 1 cup flour), everything else is negotiable. You can reduce or increase the sugar and salt, or mix in any type of flavoring from citrus zest to vanilla to herbs and spices. You can even alter the type of flour, swapping in some rice flour for all-purpose flour for increased crunch, or cornmeal for a nubby texture. Just be cautious about adding liquid to the dough; any more than one tablespoon could interfere with the texture. Here we give a master recipe and nine variations to play around with.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pulse together flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some of the crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess; the dough should be somewhat crumbly. (You can also mix the dough in a bowl using two knives or a pastry cutter.)
- Press dough into an even layer in an ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square baking pan, or a 9-inch pie pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes for the 9-inch square or pie pan, 45 to 50 minutes for the 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm.

BROWN SUGAR-ANISE COOKIES
This big, irresistible cookie takes almost no time to make, and is great for those occasions when you want a delicious treat, fast. If you think you don't like anise seeds, you might enjoy their fragrant notes in this recipe, but you can always use sesame seeds instead. Or leave them out altogether - these cookies are still good with just sugar (use turbinado if you don't have sanding or sparkling sugar). You can keep the rolled-out dough in the freezer, and throw it in the oven for a dinner party. With a little sorbet or ice cream, you have a dessert ready for company.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine 2 cups flour, the cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and light brown sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vanilla paste and beat on medium speed until well combined, scraping bowl as needed.
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Scrape the bowl and fold a few times to make sure everything is well combined. Divide dough in two, wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and flatten into disks. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
- Place one piece of dough on a lightly floured sheet of parchment, or a silicone baking mat, and flour both sides of the dough and the rolling pin. Roll dough into an oblong oval that is roughly 7-by-10 inches and a generous 1/4-inch thick. Prick all over with a floured fork. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Slide rolled dough on parchment paper onto a baking sheet, and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Lightly beat the egg white with 1 teaspoon water to thin it out. Lightly brush the top of the dough with the egg white, and sprinkle with the anise seeds, pressing gently to adhere. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar, then bake until turning deeply golden at the edges, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Let cool on the baking sheet. After about 5 minutes, use a knife, pastry wheel or pizza cutter to cut crosswise into 3/4-inch strips. Alternatively, let cool and serve whole, allowing guests to break into pieces. Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs, granulated sugar, butter, oil, and 1½ tsp. anise extract in a large bowl until smooth, light, and foamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and add dry ingredients; beat just to combine.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls with your hands. Space at least 1" apart on 2 large parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill until very firm, about 1 hour.
- Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through if coloring unevenly, until golden brown around the edges and tops are firm, 10–12 minutes. Let cool.
- When cookies are cool, whisk powdered sugar, remaining 1 tsp. anise extract, and 3 Tbsp. water in a large bowl until smooth (glaze should be the consistency of heavy cream; add water by the teaspoonful to loosen if needed). Gently toss cookies in glaze until lightly coated, letting excess drip back into bowl. Transfer to clean parchment-lined baking sheets (you can use a small offset spatula for this, but the glaze is pretty forgiving of any finger marks) and let sit until glaze hardens, about 2 hours.
