                    These will remind you of those store bought cookies we all love by Stella D'Oro. Slightly crisp on the outside but soft in the middle. I found this recipe on another site (oops! don't tell!) Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1 tablespoon baking powder  |  
                                                1 pinch salt  |  
                                                6 eggs  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups white sugar  |  
                                                6 tablespoons vegetable oil  |  
                                                1 teaspoon anise extract  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Preheat oven to 375. 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat for about 3 minutes. Stir in the oil and anise extract. Fold in the dry ingredients and blend well. Spread the mixture into a 9x13 inch pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the oven. 3. When the pan cools slightly, cut the cookie down the middle, lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices onto a cookie sheet and return to the oven long enough to brown on each side, like toast. Watch so you don't burn them! :). 4. Store in a tightly covered container.                              |
