How to do it
- PREHEAT the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- CREAM the butter, using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the anise extract.
- ADD the Vava Vanilla Dilettoso mix to the wet mixture, and mix on low speed or with a wooden spoon, until combined. Don't over-mix the batter.
- SPOON one tablespoon portions of dough, and roll each one into a ball. Place on the baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- BAKE for about 10 minutes, or until just lightly browned. Be careful not to over bake. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Remove to cooling racks to cool completely before glazing.
- MAKE the glaze: Place 1 cup of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons whole or 2% milk, and one teaspoon of anise extract in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
- PLACE the wire rack with the cookies over a baking sheet. Dip the top of each cookie in the glaze, let any excess drip off, and return to the wire rack.
- TOP with sprinkles. Let the icing set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
