Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly flour a clean cutting board or work surface.
- In the bowl of a standmixer, add the butter, and sugar. Cream until light and fluffy.
- Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Add the eggs, extracts, and milk and mix until combined.
- Turn down the mixer speed and slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The dough should form a ball on the paddle. If it is too dry add 1 tablespoon of additional milk. If it is overly stick add one tablespoon of flour until it is workable.
- Remove the dough from the stand mixer and knead on the floured workspace. The dough should be the consistency of play dough.
- I used a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to scoop out tablespoon-sized balls.
- On the floured work space, roll on dough with the palms of your hand to create a 5 inch "snake". Bring together the ends to form a ring. Place cookies 1 inch apart of the baking sheet.
- These cookies bake for 18-20 minutes to get toasty deep golden-brown bottoms and tan golden-brown top surfaces. *See images
- Cool cookies for ten minutes before removing and baking the next batch. Repeat the process until all cookies are done.
- Cooled cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks time.

Steps:
- Position rack in center of the oven, preheat oven to 350 degrees; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Starting with the pastry dough: mix together the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl; cut the butter into small bits and work into the flour, along with the eggs, until a smooth dough is formed.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside for 10 minutes before rolling dough out on a floured board.
- For the filling: combine the water, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, boil until the mixture reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer, takes about 10 minutes.
- Remove pot from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Crush the anise seeds in a mortar or a spice mill, add to the sugar mixture, along with the cinnamon, butter and breadcrumbs, mix well.
- The mixture should resemble bread stuffing.
- Roll out a third of the pastry as thinly as possible.
- Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut 3-inch-wide strips of pastry.
- With the same cutter make 1/2 inch horizontal slits just off one long edge of the pastry, about 3/4 inch apart.
- Spread some cooled filling down the center of the strip, then fold the side with the slits over the solid side, enclosing the filling and sealing the edges.
- Cut into 3-inch long cookies.
- Place on a lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry.
- Bake until the cookies are golden brown, about 15 minutes, be careful not to let them burn.
- Let cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
