Anisette Cookies to Die For!

Anisette Cookies to Die For!

One of my favorite holiday cookies to make is Anisette Cookies.  These cookies have that wonderful anisette flavor yet are a bit soft.  I don’t particularly enjoy the hard-as-a-rock version. I made these cookies for my 2010 Cookie Exchange Party.  Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
