These cookies are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

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

These cookies are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so light and fluffy, and they have a wonderful nutty flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.

I was a bit skeptical about making these cookies because I'm not a big fan of anise. But I'm so glad I gave them a try! The anise flavor is very subtle and it really complements the other flavors in the cookie. They're now one of my favorite cookies.
