ingredients
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon aniseed
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
sliced blanched almonds for topping
cinnamon sugar for topping
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.
Combine flour and cinnamon. Stir flour, 1 cup at a time, into oil mixture. Work dough with hands until smooth. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
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.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until light brown. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and cool on racks.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
