Italian Anise Cookies

Step 1
Beat eggs together in a large bowl. Gradually stir white sugar into beaten eggs until smooth. Slowly pour vegetable oil and anise oil into sugar mixture until incorporated. Mix flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl; slowly add to sugar mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until dough is dry. Refrigerate dough, 30 minutes to overnight.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 3
Roll dough into walnut-size balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are crisp around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 5
Mix confectioners' sugar and milk together in a bowl until desired consistency is reached. Dip a fork into the icing and drizzle over cookies. Allow icing to harden.
