List of Ingredients




1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter

• 1/4 cup shortening

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 2 eggs

• 31/4 cups flour

• 7 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon anise extract

• 2/3 cup light cream



Recipe



Combine the softened butter and the shortening with the sugar in a mixing bowl, and beat until smooth. Add the eggs, and beat to blend.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and blend with a whisk. Add to the butter mixture along with the anise and cream, and beat until just blended.

Form the dough into generous teaspoon-size balls, place on cookie sheet several inches apart, flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for about 15 minutes.

When cookies have cooled, apply frosting. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

FROSTING---

• 1 tablespoon melted butter

• 21/2 cups confectioners' sugar

• 1/4 cup milk or light cream

• 11/2 teaspoon anise extract

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, and stir until smooth. Other flavorings can be substituted for the anise.
