a.. 1 cup margarine
b.. 1 cup powdered sugar
c.. 1 teaspoon vanilla
d.. 1 teaspoon anise extract or ¼ teaspoon anise oil
e.. 2 cups flour
f.. 2-3 drops red and green food coloring
a.. Cream margarine, sugar, food coloring and flavorings (mix color and flavorings before) with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in flour with a fork, then work with hands kneading until smooth. Refrigerate until easy to handle. Pinch small pieces, roll in balls between palms then flatten into 1-½ inch diameter circles. You may want to use the bottom of a smooth glass to flatten out cookies. Bake at 325? for 8 to 10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper until slightly brown on bottoms but not browned on edges. Remove from sheet cooling on wire racks.
b.. Ice with powdered sugar icing. Pink icing on pink cookies, green icing on green cookies.
