Ingredients:
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon anise oil ( not extract see above)
Directions:
With a Kitchenaid mixer: beat eggs 20 minutes with 2 cups of granulated sugar (yes I mean 20 minutes as this is what will make the cookies light as a feather with a crisp melt in you mouth top crust).
Add flour gradually, beating well after each addition. Add 1 tsp anise oil and blend well.
Drop by tablespoonsful onto greased cookie sheets and let stand in a draft free place overnight.
Bake in a 375 F oven for 10 minutes until light golden but do not brown.
Cool on baking racks thoroughly before storing.
Store in a tightly covered cookie tin (not plastic).
The longer you let the cookie age, the better it will be.
