Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp anise seed
  • 2 tbsp boling water
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup soft butter
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups flour , sifted
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Directions:

  1. Combine anise seeds with boiling water and steep while mixing dough. Gradually blend sugar with butter and soda. Add 1 egg. Mix. Strain anise liquid into the mixture, discarding seed. Stir in flour, a little at a time. Mix well. Chill dough overnight or until stiff enough to handle. Shape dough into small balls (use 1/8 teaspoon measure as a scoop). Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover with waxed paper and flatten to 1/8 thickness with the bottom of a flat glass. By this time the dough will have softened and the waxed paper will stick, so place paper-covered sheet in or near freezer for 5 minutes. Peel off waxed paper. Brush tops with slightly beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (Toast seeds in shallow baking pan for 20 minutes in a 350* oven, turning frequently.) Bake cookies in preheated oven
  2. 400* about 7 minutes until lightly browned.
