Anisette Cookies I image

My family calls these "Italian Cookies". They can be made with Anisette or with Anise flavoring. The orange juice adds nice flavor. They are a cake-like cookie that is a Christmas tradition in my family. (They get huge due to all the baking powder, so do not roll too large).

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a big fan of anise, but I'm so glad I did! The flavor is subtle and not overpowering at all.

I love the combination of anise and lemon in these cookies. They're a bit like Italian biscotti, but with a softer texture. I'll definitely be making these again.
