Of all the cookies in the world, these are my all time favorite. To me the anise is the best! I make these for the Christmas season and I give them out as gifts! From my family's own personal recipe!

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c butter
2 Tbsp shortening
6 eggs
1 1/4 c sugar
3/4 c milk
2 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp anise (or your favorite extract)
6 c flour
6 Tbsp baking powder
pinch of salt
ICING
1 lb powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350* Melt butter & shortening; cool. Beat eggs, stir in sugar, milk, oil & extract. Mix in butter/shortening mixture. Add flour, baking powder & salt, mix well. Dough should be soft but not sticky, add small amounts of flour if needed to reach a soft consistency.
  • 2. Roll dough into 1" balls and place on lightly greased baking sheet about 1" apart. Bake 12-15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned, cool on racks.
  • 3. Icing: Mix powdered sugar, vanilla extract & milk until smooth. I use my food processor to mix the icing, it comes out smooth and silky! Glaze with icing and sprinkle with colored sprinkles or jimmies.

These cookies are a waste of time and ingredients. They're not worth making.

I'm not sure why, but these cookies didn't turn out right for me. They were too crumbly and didn't have much flavor.

These cookies are a bit bland. I think they could use a little more sugar or vanilla extract.

I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm going to try again using a different recipe.

I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, but these cookies are still really good. The almond flavor is very prominent.

These cookies are so easy to make, even my kids can help. They're also a great way to use up leftover egg whites.
