3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Anise oil, 16 to 20 drops
6 eggs - room temperature
1 lb. powdered sugar sifted

Prepare at least 5 greased cookie sheets. Finish preparing by adding flour, then shake off to coat. Add approximately 1 light teaspoon dough in round shape -let stand overnight - Bake in 350 degree oven until bottom part of cookie is light-top part of cookie caps. Store in airtight can -very hard to make but worth the effort if you like the anise taste. Do not cut recipe in half. Do not double recipe.
