I made these for a Mexican party, they were a hit! Love the light delicate texture of this cookie. I cut them into star shapes. I did not need any extra egg at all they stayed together just fine. I found mine appeared darker than those pictured and I used the 1 cup of sugar with 3 Tablespoons of cinnamon. Yummy a keeper!

I was looking for a recipe for biscochos and I found this one. I made these for New Year's, my guest took the leftover's and said they had it with coffee the next morning, which left me with none. So I will make these again very soon. I followed the recipe exactly except I left the anise seed whole I don't know if that makes a difference, but they were still good.

I just don't get it. To me, they were dry and boring. And way too delicate. Will not make again.

I took these cookies to a football tailgate party and they were a hit. The college kids were grabbing 2 and 3 at a time. I was sorry I couldn't find anise seed but used 1 tsp of anise extract. Yummy!

Holy Cinnamon Batman! These were a huge hit, I must have given a dozen people the website and link. It took a bit of experimentation for my oven, but as soon as I saw any browning on the edges, I removed. These also didn't taste great right after baking, they were kinda crumbly and flour tasting. But the next day they ROCKED.

These cookies are incredible! They are soft and light with the texture between shortbread cookies and melt in your mouth cake. Never tasted anything like it! Definite keeper!

Light cookies somewhere in between shortbread and sugar cookies. Perfect for a treat that isn't too rich.

These were so yummy! They are extremely delicate cookies. So much so that I had to add another egg to keep them together. After adding the extra egg they were much easier to dip/roll in the cinnamon sugar. Also I couldn't find ground anise for the life of me so I had to use a scant tsp of anise extract instead. They almost reminded me of shortbread cookies with a touch of anise flavor in the background.

These weren't bad y any means, but I didnt think they were anything special either, to me they tasted like bland sugar cookies with cinnomon and sugar on them. :( Sorry!

These were very simple to make and quite tasty too. Reminded me of a cross between a shortbread cookie with a snickerdoodle type of flavor. Almost as good as my friend Esther's, whose recipe I was trying to duplicate, only her directions were a can of pre-creamed shortening, a 5 lb bag of flour, 2 c sugar, boil cinn stick and anise to make a tea, add that to dry, ...etc. LOL, I mentioned to her I just didn't need 1000 cookies! so I found this very similar recipe. I think she called these Biscochito. (I think that's how it's spelled) Our local grocery makes them and calls them "pan de polvo" also called "Mexican wedding cookies". Wonderful texture and flavor to these little cookies. They almost melt in your mouth. This made about 8 dozen tea sized cookies. Can't eat just one...Thanks for sharing this keeper!

These are so wonderful! My whole family could not stop eating them. I had to bake them a little longer than what the recipe suggested and they were yummy.

I am a high school Spanish teacher and i made these cookies for my class. They were a big hit. The students could not believe that I made homemade cookies. I did make then about a quarter inch thin so that the dough made more cookies. One batch made about sixty cookies. They were also inexpensive to make.

This made the best cookies & my 3 year old daughter really enjoyed baking them with me! The only thing I changed was that I substituted 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the anise seed. We got a bunch of compliments on these cookies!
