3 cups/450
g
all-purpose/plain flour

2 tsp baking
powder

2/3 cup/150 g

-
Preheat the
oven to 375°F/190°C/gas 5. Set out a cookie

into a medium bowl.

Stir in the
aniseeds. Beat the butter and sugar in a large
bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until
creamy.

Add the lemon
zest and eggs, beating until just blended. Mix
in the dry ingredients to form a stiff dough.

the cookie sheet.

Transfer to a cutting board to cool for 15

Arrange the
slices cut-side up on two cookie sheets and bake
for 5-7 minutes more, or until golden and
toasted. Transfer to racks to cool.
