I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I made them a few days before my party, and they were just as fresh and delicious as if I had made them the day of.

I didn't have any anise extract, so I used almond extract instead. The cookies still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with anise extract.

I had some trouble finding anisette liqueur, but I eventually found it at a specialty liquor store. It was worth the effort, because the cookies turned out amazing!

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of wine cookies, but these were a pleasant surprise. The wine flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cookies themselves were soft and chewy. I'll definitely be making these again!
