I have a question though. I made them in advance and stored them as directed to ripen. However, the icing got sticky in places. Even though some of them didn't look as pretty as others, they all tasted wonderful. I'm just wondering if you have a suggestion about how to prevent this from happening this year. They were completely cool when iced and were kept in a dark, room-temperature place. Could it be that living on the coast there was still some moisture that got into the closed container? Thanks for your help. I can't wait to eat these again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-53144733169673924012013-12-07T14:54:00.781-08:002013-12-07T14:54:00.781-08:00In case anyone is looking for baker's ammonia,...In case anyone is looking for baker's ammonia, you might consider checking the King Arthur Flour website: <br />kingarthurflour.com<br />On the site, click "shop", and then in the search box: "baker's ammonia"<br /><br />DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-26270790532846840532012-11-28T18:53:13.376-08:002012-11-28T18:53:13.376-08:00Awesome, I've googling like crazy, trying to f...Awesome, I've googling like crazy, trying to find where I can buy some.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-28777751549743422282012-11-26T08:50:14.627-08:002012-11-26T08:50:14.627-08:00In Winnipeg you can buy baking ammonia at The Mark...In Winnipeg you can buy baking ammonia at The Marketplace in McIvor Mall on Henderson Hwy.

Our recipe is very easy and does not require all the ingredients that yours does, we use Potassium Carbonate instead of bakers ammonia. When we were little my mother would hide these cookies from us kids under her bed to ripen. But it seemed that we always found them and each one of us would sneak a cookie at least once a week before Christmas. What happy memories.l Thanks for sharing your recipe and traditions with us.<br /><br />SigridRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513820540126175541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-34907171310498669972011-11-26T22:55:27.810-08:002011-11-26T22:55:27.810-08:00Just finished mixing these and will bake them tomo...Just finished mixing these and will bake them tomorrow while watching the Grey Cup!<br />In Abbotsford I found ammonia at Neufeld Farms and ground anise in the East Indian section at Safeway.Debi Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-74747689765815019252011-11-20T12:18:02.011-08:002011-11-20T12:18:02.011-08:00For any Kelowna, BC followers of this blog that ne...For any Kelowna, BC followers of this blog that need baking ammonia you can get it at Illichman's or Valoroso Foods as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159044208629449808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-37262729295756462182010-11-11T07:49:31.000-08:002010-11-11T07:49:31.000-08:00When I reviewed the recipe I didn't see the bu...When I reviewed the recipe I didn't see the butter mentioned in the method at all.

Star anise is in the shape of a star with a large seed in each arm of the star. I bought whole star Anise from a Victorian Epicure home party but the ground star annise is a little harder to find. I think I bought mine in a specialty spice store.Bev Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270938389792314932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-86101267780892752742009-12-08T07:55:42.430-08:002009-12-08T07:55:42.430-08:00After reading the recipe yesterday I went out to g...After reading the recipe yesterday I went out to get anise.
