2 c. lard
1 c. sweet wine or any fruit juice
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. anise seeds
2 egg yolks
3 c. flour
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. vanilla

Whip lard until creamy. Mix wine, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and anise; add to lard and mix with wooden spoon. Add sufficient flour to make a soft dough; roll out 1/2 inch thick. Cut in desired shapes and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, check often to prevent burning. Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dredge cookies in this mixture while still warm.
