3 eggs (room temp.)
1 c. plus 2 tbsp. sugar
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. anise extract

Beat eggs medium speed until fluffy. Add sugar gradually, beating constantly. Beat 20 minutes or more. Reduce speed. Add flour, salt, baking powder. Beat 3 minutes more. Add anise.

Drop by heaping teaspoon on greased and floured cookie sheet. Let stand 8 hours or overnight until dry. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes or creamy golden brown. I put the cookie sheet in oven overnight.
