These were excellent and I received lots of compliments on them. I didn't need the milk to get the sesame seeds to stick.

I have been looking for a recipe like the ones from the Italian bakery. These are close but something just missing. I can't put my finger on it. Probably won't make again.

Great recipe! wonderful texture and flavor, I didn't have anise extract so I added pure anise in the dough (about a tablespoon) and some drops of vanilla extract, the cookies didn't have a strong anise flavor but they came out great!

very tasty cookie! I used almond and vanilla extract instead of anise and did not dip in milk. Also only needed about half a cup of seasame seeds. Very quick and easy. Would be good with coffee/tea!

Very good...seems like it could have used more annise though...next time I think I will add a half to another tsp of flavoring.

Fantastic flavor. what a delicious cookie. I didn't dip in milk before sesame seeds, I just poured seeds onto a plate and rolled the raw cookie, they stuck just fine.

I really liked these, and gave them to several people who really like them too! Even people who claim to not like anise flavor! The only changes I will make in the future will be to use pre-toasted sesame seeds - they didn't get quite as toasty as I would have liked in the oven. And to chill the dough before rolling it. I didn't at first, and the dough was sticking to my hands really badly. Next time I'll let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so. The only change I made was to add a little lemon extract along with the anise. Delish! Thanks for the recipe!
