Anise Balls

I got this cookie recipe from a good friend. It's important to use anise oil, not anise extract.

Cream together crisco , sugar , eggs and anise oil.

Add flour and baking powder.

Mix well.

Refrigerate 1 hour.

Drop by small spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

I like to frost them with a french vanilla or buttercream frosting.

If i am using frosting from a can , i frost them when ready to eat.

At christmas , i use red or green frosting.
