Grandma's Italian Anise Icing Cookies. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, sugar, and anise or almond extract. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until dough comes together. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake cookies for 7-8 minutes or until they are soft and spring back to the touch. Allow them to cool completely while you make the icing. To make the anise royal icing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Add more milk, if needed, so icing is runny.
"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!"
