- 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.

ITALIAN COOKIES WITH ANISE
Every family reunion since I can remember my great Aunt Nin brings anise-flavored Italian cookies that everybody loves. I figured out her exact recipe by trial and error but don't tell her! Sprinkle with nonpareils or sprinkles when icing is still wet, but hurry, they dry fast!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat butter and sugar for dough together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and anise extract and blend. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into butter mixture until blended.
- Take a ping pong-sized ball of dough and roll between your hands to form a rope. Connect the ends and twist into a figure 8 shape. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix milk into confectioners' sugar for icing, stirring slowly. Add the anise extract and vanilla extract.
- Dip cooled cookies into the icing face-down and lay on wax paper or a wire rack.

Steps:
- Melt butter and shortening together. Add the sugar; mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the anise extract. Sift or whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture gradually. If the dough is too sticky to roll in the palm of your hand, add flour until firmer, but it should be very soft. Roll dough in small balls (these tend to really puff up with all the baking powder in them!) and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake @ 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes (the bottom should be lightly browned but the tops should remain light). Remove cookies to wire rack and cool completely before glazing.
- Next time I will be more careful with the flour, I think I added a bit too much. The tops of my cookies cracked. I also used my cookie scoop and filled it half way, which seemed to work pretty well.
- Mix milk GRADUALLY into confectioners' sugar to make a thick glaze... make sure to keep it on the thick side. Dip top of each cookie into glaze. Sprinkle with colored jimmies or nonpareils while glaze is still wet. I usually dip 10-12 cookies, return them to the wire rack (with wax paper under the racks to aid in clean up!) and then sprinkle those cookies before starting to dip more.
- I dipped and sprinkled 5 at a time, that seemed to be the magic number before the glaze would start to harden.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Add flour and baking powder to a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, add 1 tablespoon of anise extract and anise seeds, and mix until well blended.
- Add the flour mixture a little at a time, and mix until well blended. The dough will be soft and sticky.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake 5 to 7 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and the cookie springs back when pressed with your finger.
- Remove the cookies from the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon anise extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Place the cooling rack of cookies on the cookie sheet to catch drips and the extra sprinkles.
- Grab one cookie, dip the top into the glaze, put it back on the rack, and add the sprinkles right away before the icing begins to harden.
- Repeat with the remaining cookies, and then let the cookies sit until the glaze is hard.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. The recipe makes about 32 cookies.

AUNT ANNE'S SESAME COOKIES
After trying my hand at countless sesame cookie recipes, my Italian girlfriend shared her Aunt Anne's recipe and I knew my search had ended! Basically an anise flavored butter cookie covered in sesame seeds. The smell when removing them from the oven is wonderful!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and anise extract until well blended. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well incorporated. If you are using a stand mixer, let the dough mix for another minute to add lightness to the dough. The dough will be soft, but will hand roll easily.
- Pinch off pieces of dough slightly smaller than a walnut, and roll them into small logs. Dip in milk, then roll in sesame seeds. Place cookies one inch apart on a cookie sheet. Cookies will not spread very much.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bottom and sides of cookies are lightly toasted. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

AUNT ELAINES ITALIAN ANISE COOKIES
When I first tasted these cookies I was in love, then I found out they were made from riccota cheese. I am not a big fan of any desserts made with cheese, but you cannot even taste the ricotta in them. If you don't care for anise flavoring they can be made with any other flavor you choose.
