how to make italian anise cookies
Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time. Add 2 teaspoons anise extract.
Blend flour and baking powder in a bowl. Start by adding a third of dry ingredients to butter and sugar, then add 1 tablespoon of milk. Add another third of flour mixture and 1 tablespoon of milk. Finally mix in the rest of flour until dough is like a brownie batter (should be softer than a drop cookie dough) .
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to make round drop cookies. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
For icing, mix powdered sugar, milk and 1/8 tsp anise extract to make a glaze. I make it thick and microwave for 10 seconds. Dip top of cookies in glaze, turn over and immediately top with sprinkles so they stick. Let harden for a few hours or overnight.
