I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as light and crispy as I expected.

I had a little trouble getting the cookies to come out of the pan without breaking. But once I got the hang of it, they were easy to make.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of anise flavor. But I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor is very subtle and really complements the sweetness of the cookies.
