I'm not usually a fan of anise, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor is subtle and perfectly complements the other ingredients.

These koulourakia were a hit at my Greek-themed party! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly golden and crispy. I loved the hint of orange and vanilla in the dough.
