Anise Butter Cookies

2 cups butter, softened
1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
4 teaspoons aniseed, crushed
2 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
6 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, 1-1/2 cups sugar and aniseed. Add eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange juice
concentrate. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed
mixture. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness.
Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased
baking sheets. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over
cookies. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire
racks.

Yield: 5 dozen.
