Recipe Introduction


"An old German recipe I found in my recipe collection, similar to the cookies commercially sold around Christmas time. Prep time doesn't include standing time."


List of Ingredients




2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons anise extract


Recipe



Sift flour, baking powder and salt together several times.

Beat eggs at low speed until frothy, turn mixer to medium, slowly, gradually beat in sugar (about 1 tablespoon at a time)

Turn mixer to a low speed; add sifted dry ingredients slowly, beat 15 minutes longer, blend in anise.

Using small cookie scoop or teaspoon drop onto greased cooky sheets,work quickly.

Allow to stand in a cool place several hours or over night, the top of the cookie should be dry to the touch.

Bake at 325 F about 14 minutes, should not brown.

Makes about 10 dozen.
