Here's a scenario:

2 male identical twins meet 2 female identical twins, they have children. Would the children of these twin parents look the same?
So, essentially, would the cousins be almost identical?
 
Well, they would look SIMILAR, but not identical. Keep in mind that when sex cells are produced, there's some imperfection in the DNA copying, and also that each child only gets half of his or her DNA from his or her parents, and finally that DNA distribution is basically equal regardless of sex.

So they'd look like brothers and sisters as opposed to cousins, but the kids wouldn't be identical to one another.
