Before Christmas, my grandmother would bake peppernuts and store them until the big day . When we'd come home from school, the whole house would smell like anise and we knew the holiday season was about to begin. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
2 cups sugar |
2-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon anise extract or crushed aniseed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar at medium speed for 15 minutes. Reduce speed and slowly add flour and anise. Mix until well combined. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into ropes about 1/2 in. in diameter. Chill for 1 hour.
2. Cut ropes into 1/2-in. pieces. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes or until set. Cookies will harden upon standing.
3. When cool, store in airtight containers; they are best if allowed to age before serving. Yield: 30 dozen.
