Easter Cookies

NANA'S RECIPE (Original)
Recipe Introduction
It certainly would not be Easter without these. My nana Morelli used to make sure she put eggs in the basket dough. This represented new life in Christ. Since no one still eats the baked eggs, I make a pretend egg in the dough and just get more cookie! As we got older (matured), we began just making single cookies. I love the smell of these when they are baking.

2 Cups Crisco
3 teaspoon Anise Seed - 1/2 teaspoon pure anise oil (purchased from you local pharmacist)
