Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 bottle anise extract (1 oz)
4 cups flour (approximately)
1/4 tablespoon baking powder
slightly beaten egg and additional sugar for sprinkling cookies

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using stand mixer, cream butter and sugar well. Beat in eggs one at a time and add the anise extract. Add the flour - about one cup at a time, mixing well before adding more. Use enough flour to make a stiff batter.
Take a small amount of batter (about a tablespoon) in your hand and form into a S-shaped cookie. Place on parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Brush top of cookie with the slightly beaten egg. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 15 minutes - until golden in color. Cool and enjoy.
These cookies can be frozen.
