These cookies were amazing! The anise flavor was perfect and the cookies were so soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again and again.

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

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They were also very easy to make, so I'll probably make them again for my kids' parties.

I loved these cookies! They were so easy to make and they turned out so cute. I used a star-shaped cookie cutter and they looked perfect.

I was disappointed with these cookies. The dough was hard to work with and the cookies didn't hold their shape. The anise flavor was also very overpowering.

These cookies were good, but I thought the anise flavor was a little too strong. I would probably use less anise next time.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I actually really enjoyed these cookies. The dough was easy to work with and the cookies were perfectly crispy.
