The traditional recipe calls for anise oil, so if you want to omit it then I would substsitute equal amounts of a vegetable or other light oil, perhaps canola. Except for taste, the cookie recipe should be otherwise unaffected. As long as you change no other ingredients, the cookies should bake and look as they normally would.
