Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add sugar, salt, baking powder, anisette; beat until smooth.
- In a small bowl, beat together oil and room temperature butter until well combined. Stir into batter.
- Gradually add flour, beating only for a short time after flour has been added. Use more or less flour to make a soft cookie batter dough. (Using less flour will make for a lighter cookie). Dough should be soft, but stiff enough to form a smooth shape.
- Cover; refrigerate dough for several hours.
- Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, shape the dough into small balls; press bottom of cookies lightly onto lightly greased cookie sheets, while keeping the rounded tops.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes. The cookies should be crisp but do not brown - they should be very light in color.
- Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
- To ice the cookies: In a clean mixing bowl, combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar with 4 teaspoons milk and 4 teaspoons Karo syrup. Stir until the icing is of a spreadable consistency, adding more milk if required. A few drops of anisette may be added for flavor; a drop or two of food coloring can be stirred in for a pastel-colored icing, if desired.
- Dip cookie tops into icing, then optionally sprinkle with colored cookie decorations.
- Makes approximately 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

ANISETTE COOKIES I
My family calls these "Italian Cookies". They can be made with Anisette or with Anise flavoring. The orange juice adds nice flavor. They are a cake-like cookie that is a Christmas tradition in my family. (They get huge due to all the baking powder, so do not roll too large).

ITALIAN ANISETTE COOKIES
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. -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. -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. -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.

ITALIAN ANISETTE "S" COOKIES
These cookies are my grandchildren's favorites. I like to make these cookies in S's, L's and O's. My mother's maiden name is Solo and she liked to bake them so she could spell out her name.

The sweetness comes from the sugary glaze. Drizzled over the cookie, it's super sweet and has classic anisette flavor. The entire cookie is a beautiful balance of...
