["The night before: Beat sugar and eggs until thick, about 5 to 10 minutes. The egg-sugar mixture will have doubled in volume. The air in this mixture will provide the leavening.", "", "Sift together cinnamon and flour. Slowly fold flour into eggs by hand.", "", "Gread two cookie sheets, and sprinkle the sheets with anise seeds. The more seeds, the stronger the anise flavor. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets.", "", "Cover with a clean cloth and let stand overnight (or two), unrefrigerated (really). This period of sitting out will give the cookies their \"feet\"" and \""icing.\""""
