I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but the anise flavor was nice.

I was a little hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a huge fan of anise, but I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor is very mild and the cookies are perfectly sweet and chewy.

I've never been a big fan of anise, but these cookies changed my mind! The flavor is subtle and not overpowering at all. The cookies are also very soft and chewy.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They are so easy to make and the anise flavor is just perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
