Ingredients

  • 4 c. syrup, dark Karo
  • 2 c. lard
  • 2 c. brown sugar

Directions

  1. Put this on stove and heat all together. Then set aside to cold.
  2. Add in:
  3. 5 cents worth of anise seed (6 to 8 teaspoon
  4. 1 teaspoon black pepper
  5. 1 teaspoon ginger
  6. 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  7. 2 teaspoon soda
  8. 13 or possibly 14 c. flour
  9. Mix hard (dough is VERY thick) roll in long rolls about the size of your finger and cut in 1/2 inch lengths. Bake at 350-375 degrees on greased pans till starting to turn light to medium brown around the edges of cookie. Remove from pan and cold. Cookies get very hard. Place in containers. Will keep for weeks. Not a good idea to freeze them because the cookie flavor gets very strong from all the spices, if frzn. Can make half of the recipe if you don't want so many cookies.
