Ingredients

1.5
1 1/2 cup Flour, all purpose, white, unbleached, enriched 2.0
2 tsp ground cinnamon 1.25
1 1/4 tbsp anise seed 0.25
0 1/4 tsp salt 0.5
0 1/2 cup chopped dates 1.5
1 1/2 oz unsweetened apple juice frozen concentrate 0.5
0 1/2 cup Margarine, 80% fat 1.0
1 each eggs 1.0
1 tsp grated lemon rind 1.0
1 each eggs

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray 2 cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, anise, and salt.
In a blender or food processor, puree the dates and 3 tablespoons apple juice concentrate.
Blend in the margarine. Blend in the egg and lemon rind, just stirring to blend.
Form into a ball, adding more flour if the mixture is too sticky. If necessary, chill the dough until it is firm enough to roll.
Roll out dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch on a lightly floured board. Cut into fancy shapes.
Place on the cookie sheets and brush with an egg wash made by beating the remaining egg with remaining apple juice concentrate.
Bake cookies for 10 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool briefly before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
