Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2-2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon anise oil, or
1 1/2 tablespoons crushed anise seeds

Steps:

  • Beat eggs until light.
  • Add sugar gradually, beating till creamy.
  • Add vanilla; add anise oil now if using it.
  • Sift flour with baking powder; add to mixture beating it well.
  • If you use anise seeds instead of anise oil, add it now.
  • Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets.
  • Allow them to dry 12 hours or overnight.
  • Bake for 12 minutes in 350 degree oven. Check to see if golden around edges. Do not allow them to get brown. Makes 50 1-1/2" cookies.
  • Note: I use cooking spray or silicone sheets on cookie sheets---nothing sticks and no clean up.
  • Cooking time included overnight drying time.
