These Frosted Anise Sugar Cookies are perfect for Christmas baking, with a soft texture and hint of warm anise spice. The frosting adds an extra touch of sweetness!

Bake for 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets between racks and from front to back. Bake until the sides of the cookies are firm, the tops are just set, and the edges have lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes more (err on underbaking). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Before I got started, I had to get my hands on some cookie cutters. Traditional sugar cookie cutters, the kind you use for fondant-flooded sugar cookies, are too large for this project (unless you want massive cookies). So I ended up buying a set of cutters intended for vegetables and cute bento boxes, but worked well due to their small size.
