Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add oil and extracts; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; beat into egg mixture. Beat in lemon zest and aniseed.
Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a 12×2-in. rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Flatten to 1/2-in. thickness.
Bake until golden and tops begin to crack, 30-35 minutes. Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board; cut with a serrated knife into scant 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 5 minutes. Turn and bake until firm and golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
