Time 35m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup butter
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon anise
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 ½ tablespoons water
2 tablespoons multicolored candy sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rub between fingers until well blended. Stir in the eggs, vanilla and anise extracts and mix into a firm dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Drizzle over cooled cookies and decorate with sprinkles.

I'm not a huge fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies still turned out great! They're soft and chewy, with a delicious almond flavor.

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfectly. They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a delicious nutty flavor. I will definitely be making these again!

I've tried this recipe a few times now and it always turns out great. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a perfect amount of sweetness. I love that I can use different nuts and dried fruits to change up the flavor.
