Ingredients

36 servings

•

2 tablespoons anise seed
•

3 tablespoons rum
•

1 ¼ cups butter
•

¾ cup white sugar
•

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

•

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
•

1 egg
•

½ teaspoon salt
•

1 teaspoon baking powder
•

1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves

Instructions

Place the anise seeds in a small bowl with the rum. Set aside to marinate overnight.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the anise seed and rum. Mix in the egg. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and cloves; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown at the edges. Cool for a few minutes on baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
