Ingredients

3 cups brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten well
2 tablespoons anise seed
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons hot water
4.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup white sugar, or as needed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets thoroughly.
In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth. Then, stir in the anise seeds and salt.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in hot water. Stir this mixture into the brown sugar mixture. Add the flour and mix until a dough forms. Roll the dough into 36 small balls.
Place white sugar in a wide, shallow dish. Roll each dough ball in the sugar to coat completely, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are crispy and golden, approximately 10 minutes.
