These are fantastic! I made only two changes in the recipe: I used pre-sliced almonds, and instead of anise extract, I used 1 teaspoon of absinthe, an anise flavored liqueur. The cookies did spread in the first baking rather more than I expected, but the flavor more than makes up for that. I would never have guessed that you could get this favor from coffee and anise. Thank you, Wendy, for wonderful cookies.

Very nice, delicate flavor...perfect with a cup of tea! (Maybe mine had a delicate flavor because I had no anise extract so used same amt of freshly ground aniseed instead). I also put the dough in the freezer for 20 min instead of the fridge for 3 hrs...worked fine. I always make 2 logs so that's what I did this time (baked at 350 for 25, then 20 after slicing. Left in turned off oven for another 8). I couldn't really taste the Kahlua :o)! Maybe next time I'll add a wee bit more! Thanks for the recipe, Wendy!
