Italian Cookies with Sprinkles image

One of my grandma's favorite cookie recipes. These are very traditional Italian cookies with sprinkles flavored with anise extract. If you don't know what anise is, the flavor is very similar to black licorice.

Time 45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon anise extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
ΒΌ teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons multicolored candy sprinkles, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Stir in anise extract and lemon extract. Blend in eggs. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl; blend into egg mixture until dough is almost crumbly but stays together when you roll it in your hands.
  • Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Glaze cooled cookies and top with sprinkles.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't look like the ones in the pictures. They were a bit flatter and less colorful.

These cookies didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

The dough was a bit too sticky for me. I had to add more flour to make it easier to work with.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover sprinkles. I always have a few containers of sprinkles in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.
