As much as I love giving away my baking, a few goodies—like these cookies—are "keepers". The light anise flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture make them a perfect after-dinner treat. —P Marchesi, Rocky Point, Long Island, New York

I love the Anise flavor and am never sure how much to put in the cookie recipe. I solved it by putting the Anise in the frosting and I can adjust to my taste...

My family love the taste of anise so I tried these and already had to make a new batch before a week was up because they were so in demand. They are so easy to make and are so delicious!

Fab! I think I may have flattened my cookies a little too much. They are thin and crispy, but they don't fall apart. They are delicious! I added Anise extract to my frosting as well, and the coarse sugar gives them a magical appearance. I got at least 108 cookies. I will definitely make these again!
