Bizcochitos
                                                                                 
1 1/2 cups butter
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
2 tsp anise seed
2 tsp baking powder
3 Tbsp brandy
3 Tbsp sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon, combined

Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and anise
seed and beat again until very light and fluffy. Sift together the
flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture along
with the brandy.  Mix thoroughly to make a stiff dough. Roll dough
on a floured board to 1/4" thickness. Cut with cookie cutters.
Sprinkle tops with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place on ungreased cookie
sheets and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly browned,
about 10-12 minutes. Cook on wire racks and glaze with chocolate
or sugar icing if desired.

Serve plain or glaze them with a chocolate/shortening heated mix,
a powdered sugar/milk glaze, etc.
