Ingredients.
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon anise extract, or 3 drops anise oil
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Preparation.
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
Step 2.
Beat together sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract in a medium bowl until well-blended. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into egg mixture to form a heavy dough.
Step 3.
Divide dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a log the length of a cookie sheet. Place one log on each of the prepared sheets; and press dough down to 1/2-inch thickness.
Step 4.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer logs to wire racks; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
Step 5.
Slice each log crosswise into about eighteen 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices cut-sides up back on the cookie sheets.
Step 6.
Bake until lightly toasted and golden brown, 6 to 10 minutes per side.
