Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 5 mm thickness. Cut stars, flowers or hearts; for half of the shapes cut a round (or heart-shaped) hole in the center. Preheat the oven to 200 °C with upper/lower heat. Place all dough pieces side by side on baking trays lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 8–10 minutes until golden yellow. Let cool on a wire rack. Dust the cookies with powdered sugar. Mix the jam with the anisette, brush one cookie with the mixture, place the matching cookie lid on top, and let dry well.
