Servings: persons

6 cups All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Salt
2 cups Lard (or Butter, Though Lard Tastes More Authentic)
1-1/2 cup White Sugar
2 Tablespoons Anise Seed (can Substitute 1 Teaspoon Of Seed And 1 Teaspoon Ground Anise)
2 whole Eggs
2 teaspoons Anise Extract (you May Add More, To Taste)
1/4 cups Brandy (can Omit)(if Omitted, Add Milk Or Water To Moisten)
1/4 cups White Sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl, and set aside.
3
In a large bowl, cream together the lard and 1 1/2 cups sugar until smooth. Mix in the anise seed/ground anise, and beat until fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time. Add the sifted ingredients, extract and brandy, and stir until well blended.
4
On a floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 or 1/4 inch thickness, and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. The traditional is fleur-de-lis. You can also form small balls, then roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place cookies onto baking sheets. Mix together the 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the tops of the cookies (or roll the balls in it if you go that route).
5
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.

Enjoy!
