  1. They came out just wonderful! I had to use about a half a cup more flour because it seemed to sticky. But then I thought maybe my eggs were too large, I did use the jumbo's. But the cookie was the best flavor, just perfect.
     
  2. The tasete is FAB. I skipped the almonds because my father is allergic ("Merry Christmas! Anaphalaxis). The recipe does not specify how much anisette is used, or even include it in the ingredient list, but it is called for in the instructions. To be honest, I didn't really care, I used a tsp. of Whisky and called it a day. I recommend dividing the dough into two flattish loafs since mine didn't cook all the way through and it was in the oven for a little over half an hour. I will definitely make these delights again to refine my technique. I think they will be a classic when I get it right for me.
