These cookies were okay. I followed the recipe as written, except I used a small cookie scoop to scoop the batter and then flatened the cookies out. After I made the first batch and found them not to be as flavorful as I like I added more anise seeds (without soaking) and chopped up almonds. Adding these two items made a big difference and with these additions I would give the cookie FOUR STARS. Thanks for sharing.

I am no longer single. I found me an amazing man and we married, it has been almost 3 years now. My little girl is 13 now and she is amazing. I went to school and got my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and I work for the State as a Parole Officer now. I have realized that I hate cooking. I really do hate it. Luckily I married a man who loves to cook. He hates to bake, and I actually do like to bake. So I am what one would consider a somewhat mediocre baker. I still think about my Zaar Angel all the time. She knows who she is.
I do enjoy to crochet, I do that a lot here lately. I use to do counted cross stitch, yet I don't do that anymore. I can't watch TV as well as I can while I crochet.
