   1/2 lb Butter, softened
     2 lg Eggs, beaten
     1 c  Sugar
     4 c  Flour
     2 tb Baking powder
     2 tb Vanilla
-ICING-
   1/2 ct Confectioners sugar

 DOUGH: Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and flavoring. Mix well. Blend in
 flour and baking powder. Work to form a soft pliable dough.
 Cut off pieces of dough, the size of a walnut, roll to about 1/2″
 thickness, then shape into a curved ‘S’ shape about 2 1/2″ long or a
 straight 2 1/2″ pencil shape. Bake in preheated oven 375 degrees until
 lightly brown about 15-20 minutes. Cookies may be iced or left plain.
 ICING: Blend sugar and anise extract, adding milk slowly to form a soft,
 smooth icing. Ice cookies while warm, sprinkle confetti on top if desired.
