Recipe View Once the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring them to a wire rack. While the cookies are still warm, spoon or drizzle the anise icing over them. Allow the icing to set completely before serving. (20 minutes)

For a more intense anise flavor, try adding a pinch of anise seeds to the dough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency.
These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft texture.
