Time 35m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup butter
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon anise
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 ½ tablespoons water
2 tablespoons multicolored candy sprinkles

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.

I love the versatility of these cookies. You can add different flavors, colors, and toppings to create your own unique cookies.

These cookies are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as delicious when I served them.

I'm not a big fan of baking, but these cookies were so easy to make that even I could do it! I just followed the recipe step-by-step and they turned out perfectly.

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.

I made these cookies for a party last weekend and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them, and I even got a few requests for the recipe. I'll definitely be making these again for my next party.

These cookies are beautiful! I love the way the colored sprinkles look on top. They're also very delicious, with a soft and chewy texture and a sweet and flavorful taste.

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.

I love the texture of these cookies. They're crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The flavor is also amazing, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.

These Italian cookies were a hit! They were so delicious and flavorful, and they disappeared quickly from the cookie jar. I'll definitely be making these again.
