Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rub between fingers until well blended. Stir in the eggs, vanilla and anise extracts and mix into a firm dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Drizzle over cooled cookies and decorate with sprinkles.

[email protected]These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after I make a batch of chocolate chip cookies, and these Italian cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

[email protected]I was a little skeptical about making these cookies because I'm not a big fan of anise, but I'm so glad I tried them! The anise flavor is very subtle, and it adds a nice touch of complexity to the cookies. I'll definitely be making these again.
