These were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my biscochitos turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of anise, but I really enjoyed these biscochitos. The anise flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
