Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 eggs
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of anise, but these cookies were still really good. The other flavors balanced it out nicely.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and hard. They didn't taste very good either.

These cookies are so delicious! They're soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. I love the combination of cinnamon and nutmeg.
