These were so easy to make. They are not the flashiest looking cookie but their allure is in the hypnotic fragrance of the clove & aniseed...their crispy chewy finish and a pecan morsel to punctuate. Serve these with strong black tea and milk and you won't be sorry!

I am not a fan of licorice, but these cookies are yummy, I added extra of every spice, as always, and they are great!

I hate Anise with a passion, but my hubby really wanted to make something for Thanksgiving with Anise in it. Well, I ended up helping him make these cookies that I was so against, hoping we could just leave it out. After we added the Anise and baked the cookies it was time for tasting... I put it in my mouth and .... EXPLOSION! So amazingly delicious! Anyone who is against putting Anise in these cookies should really rethink it! Very delicious will make again!

So delicious! I used anise extract instead of aniseed because that is what I had on hand, and it worked well. I was afraid that the anise flavor would be overpowering, but it definitely wasn't. A keeper!

So happy to find this recipe! Lost in the shuffle of moving. I've baked this for several years now and added mini choc chips, or a cup of oatmeal, always with great success. These are the tastiest, crispest cookie! We love them.
