These anise cookies are super soft and tender. A holiday favorite in our house! They are even more delicious when drizzled with anise icing.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.75 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon anise extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease or line cookie sheets.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add oil, milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon anise extract; mix together to form a workable dough. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls, flatten slightly, and place 1 inch apart onto prepared cookie sheets.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, make the icing: Mix confectioners' sugar, hot water, and 1 teaspoon anise extract together until smooth. Spoon or drizzle over warm cookies and allow to cool completely.
