I got some of these cookies at a Christmas cookie exchange several years ago. They are delicious! Ingredients:
2 cups lard (not shortening) |
1 cup sweet wine or 1 cup any fruit juice |
1 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
1 tablespoon anise seed |
2 egg yolks |
3 cups flour |
1 cup sugar |
3 teaspoons cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Whip lard until creamy.
2. Mix wine (or fruit juice), 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and anise.
3. Add this to lard.
4. Mix with wooden spoon.
5. Add egg yolks; mix well.
6. Add sufficient flour to make a soft dough; roll out 1/2 inch thick.
7. Cut in desired shapes and place on greased cookie sheet.
8. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
9. Check often to prevent burning.
10. Mix remaining cinnamon and sugar.
11. Dredge cookies in this mixture while they are still warm.
