Ingredients:  
6 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups vegetable shortening or lard (measure firmly packed)

Directions:
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together onto a piece
of wax paper and set aside. Cream sugar and shortening
until fluffy light; add anise seeds and eggs, and again
cream until fluffy. Mix in the sifted dry ingredients, then
the wine or white grape juice, to make a stiff dough. Roll
out, about a fourth of the dough at a time, to a thickness
of 1/4 inch, on a lightly floured pastry cloth using a
lightly floured, stockinette-covered rolling pin. Cut into
rounds with a floured 2-2/2-inch cookie cutter. Space
cookies about 1 inch apart on un-greased cookie sheets
and bake in a hot oven (400°) for about 10 minutes or
until pale tan. Remove cookies at once from cookie
sheets, coat both sides in cinnamon-sugar, then let
cool.
