    2 Cups Shortening
    1 Cup Plus 3 Tablespoons Sugar, Divided
    2 Eggs
    1/2 Cup Orange Juice
    2 Teaspoons Aniseed
    6 Cups All-Purpose Flour
    1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
    3/4 Teaspoon Salt

    In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and 1 cup sugar. Beat in the eggs, orange juice and aniseed. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2 inch cookie cutters dipped in flour. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yields about 7 dozen cookies.
