Ingredients

72 servings

•

6 cups all-purpose flour
•

1 tablespoon baking powder
•

0.25 teaspoon salt
•

2 cups lard, softened
•

1.5 cups white sugar

•

2 teaspoons anise seed
•

2 eggs
•

0.25 cup brandy
•

0.25 cup white sugar
•

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
Beat lard and 1 ½ cups sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add anise seed and beat until fluffy. Stir in eggs, one at a time. Add brandy; stir in flour mixture to form a dough.
Roll dough with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of 1/4 or 1/2 inch. Cut dough with a fleur-de-lis cookie cutter, or other simple shape. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets. Mix 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over cookies.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
