The finished product tastes best with cream cheese frosting. Just beat an 8oz package of cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter with 4 cups powdered sugar and a splash of anise extract.
Frost in the brightest colors possible and share with family and friends! This recipe makes a whopping 60 cookies, depending on what size cookie cutters you use. I like to do some small shapes so I can justify more than 1 cookie in a sitting.
