Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Add the ground anise seed and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Form the dough into a 16-inch-long, 3-inch-wide log. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 30 minutes. Cool 30 minutes. Place the log on the cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the cookies cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies until pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely. ************************************** My substitutions (because this is what I had on hand): 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 generous teaspoon whole anise seed (not ground) [in the spice aisle at the grocery store] 1/2 cup Ghirardelli bittersweet 60% cacoa chips 1/4 cup Nestle semisweet mini chocolate chips 1/4 cup Guittard cappuccino chips I bet these would be good with other substitutions too (dried cranberries, walnuts, etc.)
