I made these last night for dinner and my husband and I just loved them! We both agreed that these were the best oven fries we have ever had. And I liked that I didn't have to flip them over. One thing I did change was the cooking time. I did what the recipe said, but they weren't cooked enough. I added about 15 minutes more and they turned out nice and crispy and just delicious. The onion and the spices added a great flavor to them. Next time, I am going to also coat the pan with oil because they were sticking - but they got really crispy, so maybe not. We will definitely be making these again and again.

I really love these cookies. I used 3 tsp. of baking powder instead of the 6 tbsp., as one reviewer suggested. When I first made them, the dough was crumbly. When I made them again, I used a little more water, which helped a lot. I also used more anisette extract, which made a difference. But the topping on the cake was sprinkling nonpareils on top (after a generous amount of icing), to make them colorful and visually appetizing. My friends and family LOVED them. One of my friends said that they were even better than the ones he got in Boston's North End!
