These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites and they're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookies.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I liked these cookies. They're not too sweet and the anise flavor is subtle.

These cookies are really easy to make. I didn't have any anise seeds, so I used fennel seeds instead. They turned out great!
