These cookies are way too spicy for my taste. I would omit the anise next time I make them.

The cookies didn't turn out as crispy as I expected. I think I overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a little bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I still liked these cookies. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over from making other recipes, and these cookies are a great way to use them up.
