Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Eggs (beat until light; then add)
1 pounds Powdered sugar.
1 tablespoon Grated lemon rind
4½ cup Sifted cake flour with
1 teaspoon Baking powder (remember; it needs to be fresh!)

Directions

Mix eggs and sugar thoroughly; add rest. Chill 1 hour. Roll dough to ¼ inch thinkness with the special roller I mentioned cut and place on greased cookie sheet which has been heavily sprinkled with anise seed which has been crushed by a roller between 2 layers of waxed paper. (The next step is VERY important!) Leave cookies exposed to the air (uncovered) overnight or for at least 12 hours. Then, bake at 250 - that's two hundred and fifty degrees - for 30 minutes. Store covered in a ceramic crock for at least 3 weeks with an apple piece. (My mother used to lay the apple piece on top of a piece of waxed paper on the top of the pile of the cookies.) These are absolutely wonderful and very traditional! Again, enjoy! Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by ebross@...
