Number Of Ingredients 4

3 - eggs
2 cup(s) sugar
2 3/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) anise extract or crushed aniseed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar at medium speed for 15 minutes. Reduce speed and slowly add flour and anise. Mix until well combined. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into ropes about 1/2 in. in diameter. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Cut ropes into 1/2-in. pieces. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes or until set. Cookies will harden upon standing.
  • When cool, store in airtight containers; they are best if allowed to age before serving.
