Ingredients

1/2	stick	butter	unsalted, softened
1/4	cup	vegetable shortening
1/3	cup	powdered sugar
1/4	cup	sugar	granulated
1	teaspoon	vanilla extract
1	cup	flour, all-purpose	plus 2 tbsp
1/2	teaspoon	salt
1/4	teaspoon	baking powder
1/2	teaspoon	aniseed
3/4	cup	pine nuts	lightly toasted

Directions

Using electric mixer, cream together the butter, shortening, and the sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla. In another bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder, and add the flour to the butter mixture.

Process the aniseed and 1/2 cup of the cooled pine nuts to a fine grind, and add to the dough.

Blend well. Drop teaspoons of the dough 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets, topping each cookie with several of the remaining pine nuts.

Bake in a preheated 325F oven for 18 to 20 minutes until they are golden.

Switch the positions of the baking sheets halfway through the cooking time.

Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes and carefully transfer (the cookies are very delicate) to racks.

Store in airtight containers.

Amazing Chewy Crispy Apricot Walnut Energy Bars

I made these crispy and chewy bars today, and they are really amazing, crispy outside and chewy inside, the fresh lemon zests and the dried apricots work very well with the bars, and I used brown rice cereal, anyhow I love them, and I will definetly make them again.
