These cookies are delicious, but they're very crumbly. I had to be careful not to break them when I was eating them.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

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

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