Mother prepared these soft cookies for holidays and special-occasion meals. My seven siblings and I gobbled them up as fast as she made them. I still can't resist the cinnamon-sugar coating. -Jerri Moror, Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Overall, these cookies were a bit disappointing. I don't think I'll be making them again.

The cookies were a bit too crumbly. I think I should have used a different type of flour.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I should have added a little more butter.

The anise flavor was a bit too strong for me. I would use less anise extract next time.

The cookies didn't spread out as much as I thought they would. I think I should have rolled them out a bit thinner.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar by half next time.

These cookies are so easy to make, even for a beginner baker. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them until I'm ready to serve them.
