4 c. flour
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
5 eggs
4 tsp. baking powder
4 tsp. anise flavoring

Mix flour, sugar and baking powder, then add shortening; mix well. Add beaten eggs with flavoring; shape into forms or balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Frost with 1 pound XX sugar and 1 tablespoon oil and hot water enough to make a smooth thin glaze. Add anise flavoring if you wish.
