INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine flour, anise seed, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl; set
aside.  Beat shortening in large bowl of electric mixer on medium speed
until creamy.  And 1/2 cup sugar; beat until fluffy. Blend in egg.
Gradually add flour mixture alternately with orange juice, mixing well
after each addition.
Divide dough in half; roll out one portion at a time on lightly floured
surface to 1/4 inch thickness; cover remaining dough to prevent drying. Cut
out cookies with fancy cookie cutters 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. While
cutting cookies, add scraps to remaining dough. If dough becomes too soft
to handle, refrigerate briefly.
Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. To prepare cinnamon
topping, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon; lightly sprinkle
over cookies.
bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on racks,
then store in airtight container.
Makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies.
