Directions
Italian Anise Cookies With Icing and Sprinkles,These delicate cake-like cookies are glazed with icing and topped with colorful candy sprinkles. They have a mild anise flavoring, which is very typical of Italian baked goods. My family always served these cookies at holidays, weddings or special celebrations, but now that I know the recipe, I can enjoy them all year long!,Better than grandma’s cookies!,I did like these cookies! They have the flavor of black licorice. I like how they are a puffy cookie. The icing is yummy and is just perfect on this cookie.

Blend Flour and Baking Powder. Start by Adding About 1/3 of These Dry Ingredients to the Butter/Sugar in Your Mixer, Then Add 1 T. Milk. Add Another Third of the Flour and Another 1 T. Milk. Finally, Mix in Enough of the Remaining Flour Until Your Dough Is Like a Brownie Batter (it Should Be Softer Than a Drop Cookie Dough). |

For Icing: Mix Sugar, Milk and Extract to Make a Sugar Glaze. Hint: When I Make the Icing, I Make It Thick but Then I Microwave It For 10 Seconds So It Is Thin Enough For Dipping. Also, I Like to Divide the Mixture in Thirds, and Then Add One Drop of Food Coloring to Each Batch (pink, Green, Yellow). |
