I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of pineapple and anise. I'll have to try it to see if I like it.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any anise extract. Do you think I could substitute something else?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry.
