This is an all time Italian family favorite recipe that I have made every year for more than 35 years now. My family and friends just can't get enough!
"These are great cookies. They are a part of our Holiday Tradition.I have tried the italian cookies from the grocery store, there is no comparison.
These are fabulous with coffee for breakfast, or any time of day or night.
I abolutely love them! When I am lucky enough to have them, I always make sure I hide a few for myself. My sis normally makes me help frost them!" - eltamexico

Notes Italian Cookies From Angelett Preparation
BEAT EGGS, ADD SUGAR, MELTED SHORTENING, OIL AND ANISE. ADD BAKING POWDER, SALT AND FLOUR LAST (8-9 CUPS) KNEAD LIGHTLY. ROLL AND SHAPE DOUGH INTO BALLS OR WHAT EVER SHAPES YOU LIKE. BAKE AT 350 FOR 10-12 MINUTES UNTIL LIGHTLY BROWNED.
ICING - 3 - 4 LBS OF CONFECTIONS SUGAR, 1/2 TO 3/4 CUPS MILK AND ANISE TO FLAVOR. I MAKE THIS LIKE A THICK ICING AND DIP MY COOKIES. IF THE ICING GETS TO THICK I PUT IT IN THE MICROWAVE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT THINS IT OUT TO GLAZE MORE COOKIES.
Notes
This is a very thick batter and needs a good strong mixer, usually the mixer can handle 7 cups of flour, the rest can be folded in by hand.

My family has been making cookies nearly identical to these for generations so I was excited to see a similar recipe to try. However, these did not turn out well. The batter was too dry making it difficult to form balls and making the cookies crack when baked. I will stick to my original recipe from now on. I chalk it up to a good effort and a lesson learned.
