7 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon anise extract

Add flour mixture to butter mixture along with anise extract and cream and, using a wooden spoon, mix well.
Form dough into small balls and place onto ungreased cookie sheets several inches apart. Flatten slightly (using a sugared glass or the palm of your hand) and bake approximately 12 minutes.
