Step 1

Place anise seeds and rum in a small bowl. Set aside to marinate, preferably overnight.
Step 2

Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in anise seed-rum mixture. Whisk in egg. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and cloves. Stir into butter mixture until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place cookies on a greased cookie sheet.
