An Italian style Christmas cookie, these tender and pretty anise cookies are begging to join your Christmas cookie tray! They have a distinct anise flavor; if you’ve never had it before, it tastes like black licorice. Not everyone enjoys its potent taste, but if you do, you’ll love these cookies! These cookies are hearty, not chewy, and almost biscuit-like. They melt in your mouth (unless you over-bake them, make sure the bottoms are JUST barely light golden at most) and are just very unique.
