TRADITIONAL ANISE COOKIES
This authentic anise cookie is my mothers recipe. The use of anise oil (available behind the counter from your pharmacist)sets this cookie apart from the rest. You can make these cookies in November and store them in a tightly covered tin to let them age and mellow, ready for Christmas.

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!

Tips:
- Use softened butter: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and help the cookies spread properly.
- 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.
- Use a cookie cutter with a sharp edge: This will help the cookies cut cleanly and prevent them from tearing.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
