These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out really flat. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These cookies are delicious, but they are very delicate. I had to be careful not to break them when I was decorating them.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a big fan of anise, but I'm so glad I did! The flavor is subtle and perfectly balanced with the pineapple.
