I'm not a huge fan of spice cookies, but I really enjoyed these ones. They're not too spicy, and they have a nice chewy texture.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies spread out too much in the oven. They still tasted good, but they didn't look very pretty.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loves them. I'll probably make them again, but with less ginger.
