ANISE-JAM RIBBONS
1 cup (2 sticks, 1/2 lb) butter or margarine, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon anise seed, crushed
1/2 cup strawberry jam
FOR THE ICING:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons anise-flavor liqueur
In a bowl with a mixer, beat butter and sugar until very smooth. Then beat in egg yolk; set aside.
In another bowl, combine flour and anise seed. Add to butter mixture and
beat until well blended.
Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick rope. Evenly space 4 ropes on each 12-by 15-inch baking sheet. With the side of your little finger; press a 1/4-inch-deep groove down the length of each rope.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven until cookies just begin to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon strawberry jam into grooves. Bake until dough is firm to touch and slightly darker, 5 to 10 minutes more. If using more than 1 pan in 1 oven, switch pan positions halfway through baking. Cool on pans 5 minutes
In a bowl, stir powdered sugar and liqueur until smooth. Drizzle mixture back and forth across cookie ropes. Cut ropes diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Using a spatula, transfer cookies to racks to cool.
Serve cookies, store airtight up to 3 days, or freeze them to store longer.
