Grossmutter's Peppernuts

By: Marilyn Kutzli 
"Before Christmas, my grandmother would bake peppernuts and store them until the 'big day'. When we'd come home from school, the whole house would smell like anise and we knew the holiday season was about to begin."

Original Recipe Yield 60 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon anise extract or crushed anise seed

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar at medium speed for 15 minutes. Reduce speed and slowly add flour and anise. Mix until well combined. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into ropes about 1/2 in. in diameter. Chill 1 hour.
  2. Slice ropes into 1/2-in. lengths. Place on greased bookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes or until set. Cookies will harden upon standing. When cool, store in airtight containers; they are best if allowed to age before serving.
