Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter. This will help the cookies spread more evenly and give them a more tender texture.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Measure the flour correctly. Too much flour can make the cookies dry and crumbly. To measure the flour correctly, spoon it into the measuring cup and then level it off with a knife.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to crisp up.

Conclusion:

These low-fat anise cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a snack or dessert, and they can also be used to make a variety of other desserts, such as ice cream sandwiches and parfaits.
