Cookies
2 sticks of butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour (plus a little extra for rolling out the dough)
3 teaspoons anise seeds
Frosting
1/2 stick of butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt

1
To make the cookies: Cream the butter and sugar together, and then mix in the eggs, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
2
Add the flour, mixing until just combined, and then the anise seeds, mixing until they are more or less evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3
Cover and refrigerate the dough for an hour or more.
4
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Flour a surface and your rolling pin, and roll the dough out to about 1/4 of an inch. Cut cookies out using the cookie cutter of your choice, and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until cookies are slightly puffed up and have turned a light golden color around the edges.
5
While the cookies cool, make the frosting: cream together the butter and powdered sugar. Mix in the vanilla and salt, and add the milk a little bit at a time, halting once you've reached a smooth, spreadable consistency.
