Ingredients:  
2 eggs
2 C sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp milk
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp melted butter
5-6 drops anise oil or 1 tsp anise extract

Directions:
Beat eggs and sugar in large bowl with mixer for 10 minutes, or by hand for an hour. Dissolve baking powder in milk, add to egg-sugar mixture.

Add salt, melted butter and anise oil or extract. Stir in flour, a small amount at a time, until too stiff to stir. Knead in remaining flour to make very stiff dough.

Roll out with regular pin to 1/4 inch thickness, then roll light once with floured Springerle rolling pin. Cut cookies along cutting mark made by Springerle pin, or about 2-inch square.

Let the cookies set overnight (or about 8 hours) on floured surface, then bake on cookie sheet that has been greased, floured and sprinkled with 1 Tbsp anise seed.

Bake in a 300º oven for 15 minutes, or until bottoms are barely colored but tops are still white. Do not let the tops brown; if they start to brown before the 15 minutes are up, remove cookies from oven.

Personal Notes:
I make these every holiday season, even if I don't get to them till after Christmas Day. Betty gave me the special rolling pin for one of our first married Christmases. The anise flavor is unusual and 'just right'.
