Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon anise oil
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
½ cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Beat eggs together in a large bowl. Gradually stir white sugar into beaten eggs until smooth. Slowly pour vegetable oil and anise oil into sugar mixture until incorporated. Mix flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl; slowly add to sugar mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until dough is dry.
  • Refrigerate dough, 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Roll dough into walnut-size balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are crisp around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Mix confectioners' sugar and milk together in a bowl until desired consistency is reached. Dip a fork into the icing and drizzle over cookies. Allow icing to harden.
