ANISE COOKIES
This is a holiday tradition in my family for over 40 years. I got the recipe from my mom, for these German cookies. Actually, I am not a fan of anise, so I plan to make them with another flavoring. Recipe yield is unknown, I just entered a random value. Enjoy!

- Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough to an even thickness: This will help ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
