Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- Combine butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth and creamy. Change to the dough hook and gradually mix in flour mixture. Add warm water and mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll each ball out to a 4-inch long worm. Bring one end over the other, then underneath and through the middle, like a knot. Place 16 cookies on a baking sheet, four rows of four.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat to bake remaining 2 batches of cookies.
- Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar, anise extract, and salt together in a bowl. Mix in water, a little at a time, until desired consistency.
- Dip cooled cookies upside down into the icing, then turn over onto waxed paper. Sprinkle with candy sprinkles.

[email protected]These cookies were a little bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the icing next time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of anise flavoring, but I decided to try these cookies anyway. I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor is very subtle and it pairs perfectly with the sweet icing. These cookies are now one of my favorites!
