These are my most favorite cookies ever! Eache year my granny made these bitesized gems for me and they are like little clouds of perfection rolled in powdered sugar. I know I can't eat just one, so here is the recipe from my favorite cookbook comapny Goose Berry Patch.
Goose Berry Patch CookBook Old Fashioned Christmas
Page: 156
2 1/2 C. flour 3/4 C. powder sugar/confectioner's sugar 1-2 drops of anise 1 C. butter, soft 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. salt
Cream butter, and add remaining ingredients. Mix until you have a stiff dough. Chill in refrigerator for 3 hours...no more than 3 hours or the dough will get a little hard to work with. Roll into balls about 1-in. in diameter, and bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for about 10-12 min. When almost cooled roll in powdered sugar. When ready to serve roll in powder sugar again.
