Anise Christmas Cookies




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




5 large eggs, well beaten
1 lb. box of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon anise OIL (It is much better to use the oil)
1 teaspoon baking powder
about 5 cups flour


Recipe



Beat eggs till very frothy. Add powdered sugar a bit at a time, until all sugar is used.

Add anise oil and baking powder. Slowly add the flour to the mixture. When it gets too stiff for beaters, I continue the rest by hand.

When dough has lost most of the stickiness, roll out on a floured board to about 3/8-inch thick. Then cut out into shapes. I use my Grandma Jed's old wood cookie cutter. Place all cookies on a clean sheet on a table to set all night.

The next morning, bake on a ungreased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes in a 325 degree oven. They should be just starting to brown. Keep cookies in a tightly sealed Tupperware with a piece bread included to keep them soft.
