1 1/4 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 2/3 c Flour, all purpose; sifted
2 ts Aniseed; ground
1/2 Lemon; use grated peel only
Sprinkle baking sheets with flour. In a large bowl, beat sugar and
eggs until creamy. Stir in flour. Add aniseed and lemon peel. Shape
dough into 1/2 inch diameter ropes. Cut ropes into 3 inch lengths;
curve each piece into a half-moon shape. Slash outer edge of
half-moon in 3 places with a sharp knife. Place on prepared baking
sheets. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature. Preheat
over to 375 F. Bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
Remove from baking sheets immediately; cool on rack. This cookie is
very hard and crisp. It makes an excellent "dunking" cookie!
