Sprinkle baking sheets with flour. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until creamy. Stir in flour. Add aniseed and lemon peel. Shape dough into 1/2 inch diameter ropes. Cut ropes into 3 inch lengths; curve each piece into a half-moon shape. Slash outer edge of half- moon in 3 places with a sharp knife. Place on prepared baking sheets. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature. Preheat over to 375 °C F. Bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheets immediately; cool on rack. This cookie is very hard and crisp. It makes an excellent "dunking" cookie!
