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!
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.
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.
