Ingredients
- 5 cups of flour, sifted
- 3 tbs granulated sugar
- 2 tbs baking powder
- 1 tbs lemon extract
- 2 tbs anise extract
- 2 oz whiskey
- 1 cup white wine (preferably Sauternes)

Roll the dough out to a half-inch thickness. Cut with favorite cookie cutters.
Bake for 22 minutes at 375. (Do not allow the cookies to get darker than a light brown.)

Enjoy with a cup of cocoa or a mug of coffee. :)
