These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a great addition to any cookie platter.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dense. I think I might have over mixed the dough.

I had a hard time finding anise extract, but I was able to find it at a specialty grocery store. It was worth the effort because these cookies are amazing!

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.
