Let’s get started! First, melt the butter in the small microwavable dish and set aside so it can cool for a few minutes. Then, beat the eggs with an electric hand mixer until foamy. Next, add in the melted butter and sugar and beat until well incorporated.
Now, mix in the lemon extract and anise extract. Then, blend in the sifted flour, baking powder, lemon rind and anise seed into the mixture. The mixture will be thick. Lastly, stir in the raisins.
Heat your waffle iron. Measure heaping tablespoonfuls onto your hot waffle iron using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Cook for about 45 seconds or until a light golden brown.
Cool the cookies on a wire rack and continue with the remaining batter. Store in an airtight container. They keep very well in the freezer.
