Anise Drop Cookies image

When my husband and I were in college we would make a 2 hour drive to visit his German mother on long weekends. She would pack a coffee can full of these cookies for us to take back with us. Unfortuneately they would be gone by the time we drove back to our dorms. You cannot just eat one. I have tried other recipes, but this one...

These cookies were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

I found the anise flavor to be a bit too strong. Otherwise, the cookies were good.

I'm not a fan of anise, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The anise flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These anise drop cookies are a delightful treat! They have a perfect balance of sweetness and anise flavor. The texture is soft and chewy, with a slight crunch from the sugar crystals.
