A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago. I haven't made them in a while, but I remember being very pleased with their taste the first time I tried this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cube butter
1 tbs. shortening
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
4 1/2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. anise seed
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1 cup blanched almonds or walnuts chopped or both
Directions:
1. Cream butter, shortening, eggs and sugar.
2. Add anise seeds, vanilla and nuts.
3. Starting with flour, add sifted flour, baking powder and salt alternately with milk.
4. Make 2 long rolls about two inches wide.
5. Put on floured board and work dough lightly with a little additional flour.
6. Bake rolls on cookie sheet about 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
7. When slightly brown, remove from oven and cut each roll diagonally about 3/4-inch wide. Turn each cookie on side and toast each side in oven about five more minutes until brown.
8. Cool on wire rack.
