I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a good starting point, but they need some tweaking. I would experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find the perfect combination.

I would make these cookies again, but I would make some changes to the recipe. I would reduce the amount of sugar and add some chopped nuts.

The cookies didn't spread out very much in the oven. I think I should have rolled the dough out thinner.

I had trouble finding anise extract at my local grocery store. I ended up using a combination of vanilla and almond extract.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate and walnuts help to balance out the anise flavor.

I substituted chopped pecans for the walnuts and they turned out great! I also added a little bit of cinnamon to the dough.
