Self Icing, Anise Cookies (Anis Smakaker)

From daughters of Norway. Another person said that they put anise seeds on bottom; that is not what this recipe said. Someone said that these are dunkers, and are hard to mix with a mixer; towards the end switch to hand and wooden spoon, lol. Must sit overnight before baking. Zaar World Tour 6.
