Like German Springerles, but more quickly prepared.

1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. lemon rind, grated
2/3 c. flour
1 tsp. anise seed
2 drops oil of anise
1/16 tsp. salt

Sift together sugar, salt and flour. Beat together egg until light and fluffy and and add combined dry ingredients. Mix well. Drop by large tablespoonfuls onto well greased cookie sheets. Allow to stand overnight. The dough will separate into two layers.

Bake in a 300°F oven until dough begins to turn golden and cookies begin to set.
