ITALIAN GRANDMOTHER ANISE COOKIES
This is my grandmother's recipe, but since I didn't have a chance to know her I think of them as my mom's cookies. She uses 5 pounds of flour in her batch because she makes them once a year for the family reunion, so I whittled her recipe down into a 4 dozen batch. The amount of anise is up to you. If you think you didn't add enough anise to the cookies, you can add some to the icing. I like to leave some of them unfrosted since they're pretty darn good plain.

Steps:
- Combine the flour, sugar and heaping tablespoon of baking powder.
- In another bowl whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil and anise extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Dough will be sticky, add up to an extra 1/4 cup of flour if needed.
- Shape cookies as desired (lightly oiled hands will help). One way to do it: roll about 2 tablespoons of dough between hands until you have a rope, fold rope in half and twist. You can also just make little dough patties.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes (this is good for dark nonstick sheets, you might need to bake a little longer if using airbake sheets).
- Remove from cookie sheets and let cool completely.
- To make icing, melt butter then add milk. Gradually mix in powdered sugar. Add more sugar or milk until at desired spreading consistency.
- Frost cookies. Icing will harden quickly so add non-pareils or other sprinkles immediately after frosting each cookie.

ITALIAN ANISE COOKIES WITH ICING AND SPRINKLES
These delicate cake-like cookies are glazed with icing and topped with colorful candy sprinkles. They have a mild anise flavoring, which is very typical of Italian baked goods. My family always served these cookies at holidays, weddings or special celebrations, but now that I know the recipe, I can enjoy them all year long!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- For cookies, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add anise extract.
- Blend flour and baking powder. Start by adding about 1/3 of these dry ingredients to the butter/sugar in your mixer, then add 1 T. milk. Add another third of the flour and another 1 T. milk. Finally, mix in enough of the remaining flour until your dough is like a brownie batter (it should be softer than a drop cookie dough).
- Use a 1 T. cookie scooper to make simple round drop cookies - use wet fingers to pat any rough edges OR for an Easter-Egg look, roll 1 T. dough into an elongated ball.
- Bake cookies 10-12 minutes (they won't be brown but the insides will be soft and cake-like).
- For icing: mix sugar, milk and extract to make a sugar glaze. HINT: When I make the icing, I make it thick but then I microwave it for 10 seconds so it is thin enough for dipping. Also, I like to divide the mixture in thirds, and then add ONE DROP of food coloring to each batch (pink, green, yellow).
- Hold cookie in your hand and turn upside down so you can dip the top half in the glaze; turn over and immediately top with sprinkles so they will stick.
- Allow icing to harden overnight; then store in air-tight containers or freeze.

Steps:
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl; set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until well combined, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the lemon juice and flour mixture and mix until the dough just comes together.
- Fill a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a large star tip with three-quarters of the dough. Pipe 3-inch-long strips 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets (or pipe into stars if you prefer).
- Roll the remaining dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Put some sprinkles in a bowl and roll the balls in the sprinkles to coat. Place the balls 1 inch apart on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until the cookie edges are just golden brown, about 11 minutes. Allow to cool completely before decorating and enjoying.
- To decorate: Spread raspberry jam on the underside of one of the long cookies and sandwich with another long cookie. Continue with the remaining long cookies and jam.
- Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted.
- Dip the sandwiched cookies first in the chocolate, then in the sprinkles. Set the cookies aside on parchment until the chocolate is set, about 5 minutes. The cookies will keep for a few weeks packed in an airtight container.

5/5 (3)Published 2022-01-24Category Cookies, Recipe Roundup
- Italian Wedding Cookies. Similar to Mexican wedding cookies, these are nutty, buttery, and wonderfully sweet. You can find these with anise or lemon flavoring, but I think the traditional vanilla cookies are the best.
- Pizzicati (Italian Pinch Cookies) It’s clear why these are called ‘pinch’ cookies. As you can see, they’re essentially discs of cookie dough that get pinched together around a filling.
- Italian Sprinkle Cookies. If you liked the idea of the wedding cookies but feel like they could use a makeover, you’re in luck! Of course, you could use the same recipe mentioned above and just add glaze and sprinkles.
- Authentic Italian Anise Biscotti. Biscotti is probably the most recognizable Italian cookie recipe, and I love that you can find it in so many flavors.
- Classic Italian Pizzelles. Pizzelles are just as recognizable as biscotti, but they’re not something you’d make every day as a home baker. These aren’t made that often because you’ll need a pizzelle maker to get that signature shape.
- Italian Ricotta Cookies. Where we use cream cheese, the Italians will almost always turn to mascarpone or ricotta. And if you’ve ever made cookies with cream cheese, you’ll know that it makes them super creamy, extra tender, and beyond delicious.
- Cinnamon Walnut Croissant Cookies. Also known as rugelach or Italian Butterhorn, these little cookies are dangerously tasty. Unlike real croissants, these won’t need hours to make.
- Lemon Amaretti Cookies. Amaretti is a type of almond-flavored cookie or biscuit. Traditionally, they can be eaten on the day of baking while they’re still soft or left to harden over a couple of days.
- Ricciarelli (Chewy Italian Almond Cookies) Like Spain, Italy is a huge producer of almonds, which is why you’ll see it in so many of these Italian cookie recipes.
- Reginelle Cookies (Classic Italian Sesame Cookies) I happen to be a massive fan of sesame, and I’ll put the seeds on everything from fish and bread to ice cream and cookies.
