Italian Anise Cookies
- Cookies:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon anise oil
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- Icing:
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
- 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
- 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.
