1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a saucepan, heat oil, aniseed and sesame seeds over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Cool. Add sugar, lemon juice, lemon and orange zest.

Roll dough out on lightly floured board to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut with a 2-inch round cookie cutter and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate with almond slices, pressing so they adhere.
