There are two types of cookies I love to make during the holidays and one is Anisette cookies! They do take a while to make due to freezing of the dough, but the best part about them can be added to any cookie recipe and that is the Anisette liquor icing! This recipe may seem like it makes a lot of icing, but most of the icing falls off the cookies before it drys so you only end up really using half of the recipe. We always had fun after the cookies were dry dipping our fingers in the leftover icing and sprinkles! I recommend making one batch of icing instead of doubling up the recipe if you make a double batch of cookies. You can always make more icing later, or you can try to reuse the leftover icing that ran off the cookies if you put parchment paper under the cookie rack!
Anisette Liquor Icing
* If sharing this recipe please link to this page
Ingredients: 3/4 Cup of Powdered Sugar/Confectioners Sugar
2 Tbs Water
1 tsp Anisette Liquor
Mix all ingredients together until smooth (I like to use a whisk). You can either spoon some icing onto each cookie, or to eliminate waste of icing you can also brush it onto each cookie with a pastry brush. Add sprinkles to cookie immediately after adding the icing and let dry. The icing will dry almost clear.
*You can also add about 1tsp of the Anisette liquor to your cookie batter!
Enjoy!
Tonight we are making homemade applesauce! I'm super excited! Perhaps I'll post that recipe next!
