    2 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
    2 teaspoons Aniseed -- finely chopped

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2 cookie sheets. Mix first 6 ingredients in processor. Add butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add nut and sugar and chop nuts coarsely, using on/off turns.
