"The dough may be sticky" is an incredible understatement. I didn't like these very cakey cookies, but my grandmother loved them. They seemed a little bland to me. Which is bizarr considering all the extracts used.

I have been looking for this recipe for 5 years! When I was little we called them "Knot Cookies" so that is what I was always looking for. I was so excited when I found it, now I can make them for my kids the way my Nana used to make them for me.

I've tried several recipes for "Italian Cookies" or "Anisette Cookies" and this one was not very good. There were too many conflicting flavors in the cookie, and cooking for 15 minutes also leaves them a little dry.

My family always has this type of cookie at every event -- we call them "Italian Wedding Cookies". People have tried this version and said these were the best they have ever had! I topped them with an icing mixture of powdered sugar, anise extract and milk, and then topped with sprinkles

Yippee! This is the same as my Mother made. She passed away some time ago and I always wanted to make them. I did this year for our Family Christmas. Everyone loved them and wanted the recipe. The first batch was dry and didn't rise so I used 4 Tablespoons of baking powder on the second batch and two teaspoons of anise extract. They turned out perfect. They passed the Italian Family taste test even though I am the worst cook in the family. Thanks

These cookies are great!! My grandmother used to make these every Christmas when I was a child. She used to leave out the anisette and use the orange juice and orange extract instead, which are just as good. All the knot tying is a little time consuming, but these cookies are worth it. They look great if you ice them and put colored sprinkles on them and they keep well too!
