1/2 c Butter or margarine 3 1/4 c All-purpose flour
3 oz Cream cheese 3 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 c C and H Powdered Sugar 1/2 ts Salt
4 Eggs 2 ts Anise seeds
Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and beat until well
blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
(Mixture might look curdled.) Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
Chill dough 3 hours. Divide soft dough in half. On a 17 by 14 inch
cookie sheet, form each half of dough into a roll 1-1/2 inches wide
and the length of the cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree oven 30 to 35
minutes. Remove from oven and cut rolls into 3/4 inch slices. Place
on cookie sheets, cut side down, return to oven and bake 10 minutes
or until toasted and crisp. Makes about 48 slices.
