In a saucepan, boil the water, piloncillo, cinnamon, and anise until it forms a thick syrup. Let it cool and remove the cinnamon stick. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and powdered sugar. Add the butter and with your hands, begin to incorporate it until it forms a sandy dough. Add the piloncillo syrup and mix well. Place the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the dough, cut the cookies, and place them on a baking sheet. Brush the cookies with a beaten egg. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden.
