Elite Bakery Cookies
"This is a recipe we came up with when the Eilte Bakery in Rochester, NY closed. They had the most fantastic Christmas cookies. When the new owners took it over, they got rid of this recipe. It took along time, but we finally duplicated it. These cookies have just a little bit of anise flavoring. Its very distinct and delicious. Once you try this recipe, you will make it every Christmas!
After we bake them, we frost and decorate them. Great way to get kids invloved."

I grew up in Rochester, NY so it is fun to see another Zaar member here. Where did you go to H.S.? When did you graduate? Tried these and they are YUMMY! Easy too--I'm just not a big fan of anise-my husband is though, and he enjoyed them a lot|!! Thanks Aimchick~

My name is Amy and I live in CT. I love to cook and try new recipes. My kitchen is my favorite room in my house and where I spend most of my time!
Both my parents were always cooking, mom baked and dad did everything except baking. Some of my recipes come from my grandmother, Nell, but have been updated. The rest fly out of my head in the middle of the night...or are things I have seen in magazines, cookbooks and on TV twisted around to my liking. I find it hard to follow a recipe, but I am trying to do that without changing them all the time.
