I'm not usually a fan of anise, but I loved the flavor in these cookies. They're the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out great!

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I overcooked them.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
