This recipe comes from Dr. Oetker and is very, very good. It gets better and better as the cookies age and the taste is just wonderful. I think these cookies bring instant Christmas spirit to even the most uncheerful person. ;) I hope you like them as much as we do! Note: These need to chill for 1 hour.

s_achakzai@aol.comI'm not a big fan of anise, so I was hesitant to try these cookies. But I'm glad I did! The anise flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the cookies are really delicious.

a_niloy60@gmail.comThese cookies didn't turn out right for me. I think I overmixed the dough, because they came out tough. But the flavor was still good.
