This cookie recipe was given to me by my Italian sister-in-law maybe 20 years ago. Her mom made 100 cookies as she had 14 children , of course we have downsized it to 20 cookies now. They are hundred times better than the ones you buy in the supermarkets ! The best when dipped in your morning coffee ! I know you will love...

Steps:
- 1. Cream sugar, eggs, butter and Crisco together. Then add anise extract, gradually add the flour and Baking powder (I end up using more than 2 cups, til I get a cookie dough consistency and no longer sticky)then roll into balls (around 1 inch in size) Press down a little on top.
- 2. Place balls on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- 3. I also glaze with confectioner sugar & milk,when completely cooled, then sprinkle with nonpareils.
