Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds confectioners' sugar
4 eggs, beaten well
2 teaspoons boiling water
2 teaspoons anise seed
1 tablespoon lemon zest
4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Beat confectioners' sugar and eggs together in a large bowl until thick.
  • Place anise seed in a bowl. Pour water over anise seed into bowl and let mixture sit to steep, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat anise mixture and lemon zest into egg mixture.
  • Sift flour and measure again. Sift flour once more together with baking powder. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and beat until dough forms.
  • Divide dough into flat rounds, wrap each in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Roll dough out on a flat surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar to 1/4-inch thickness. Roll dough with a springerle roller to shape cookies. Repeat with remaining dough rounds.
  • Cover cut cookies with a towel and let dry for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Transfer to baking sheets.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
