Old Fashioned Greek Shortbread

I've noticed that in a lot of cookie recipes
the instructions say to beat or cream
the butter and sugar together for a long time.

Ingredients:
1 pound butter (NO margarine)
2 egg yolks
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon anise
4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:
Beat butter at medium speed of electric mixer for 10 minutes.
Add egg yolks and confectioners' sugar.
Beat 5 more minutes. Add anise.
Add flour one cup at a time, kneading.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and bake on
ungreased cookie sheet at 375 degrees F. for
12 to 15 minutes or until very lightly browned.
Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Makes 5 or 6 dozen.
