Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon anise extract , or 3 drops anise oil
• 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
3. 3 Beat sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract together in a medium bowl until well-blended. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into egg mixture to form a heavy dough.
4. 4 Divide dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a log the length of a cookie sheet. Place one log on each of the prepared sheets; and press dough down to 1/2-inch thickness.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer logs to wire racks; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
6. 6 Slice each log crosswise into about eighteen 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices cut-sides up back on the cookie sheets.
7. 7 Bake until lightly toasted and golden brown, 6 to 10 minutes per side.
8. 8 Serve and enjoy!
