Frog Prince's family tradition has been making Anise cookies! He introduced me to them and I love them -- they have quickly become a tradition for us as well.

Cream together sugar and butter. Add egg and beat until light a fluffy. Add vanilla and anise.
Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Then, add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Add milk.
