Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Melt butter or margarine in medium saucepan.

  4. Immediately remove pan from heat; cool to room temperature.
  5. Stir in egg.
  6. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, pepper and anise seed in a medium bowl: (note if using anise extract instead of seed add it to the cooled butter/sugar mixture from the first step instead) Stir into egg mixture; mix well to form dough.
  7. Cover and refrigerate overnight for flavors to blend and so that dough is firm enough to roll.

  11. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters.
