Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond anise, or vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 3-4 tablespoons cream or milk, warmed
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk together eggs, oil, sugar, and extract in a mixing bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Roll dough by tablespoonfuls into balls. Chill balls of dough for at least an hour, or freeze for 15-20 minutes. Place cold dough balls on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350° for about 9 minutes, or till tops are set. Bottoms will be lightly browned, but tops should still be white. Remove cookies to cooling racks and cool completely.
For glaze, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk till smooth, adding enough warm cream to get a thin but creamy consistency.
Dip tops of the cookies in the glaze, then top with Christmas sprinkles.
