Easy homemade Italian Anise Cookies with that distinct licorice flavor, dipped in a glaze, and then topped with sprinkles. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line good quality baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Instead of anise extract, you can use your favorite extract such as lemon, almond, or whatever else you like. How should I store these iced Italian Anise Cookies?
