Anise Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup Crisco
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon anise oil
3 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Preparation

Cream together Crisco, sugar, eggs and anise oil.
Add flour and baking powder. Mix well.
Refrigerate 1 hour. (Dough will be very soft).
Drop by small spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
I like to frost them with a French vanilla or buttercream frosting. If I am using frosting from a can, I frost them when ready to eat. At Christmas, I use red or green frosting.
