I was searching for a recipe that was similar to a PR restaurant in my neighborhood. This was amazing copy. It needs to be paired with other food and is intentionally plain to complement your main dish. I didn’t have cal rose, so I used what I had - Japanese rice. Salt and oil really brings out a buttery flavor of the rice. The two of us kept going back for more and finished off the whole batch. Made this with pollo Al horno as the main.

Great recipe! This is a sublime cookie flavor, savory anise flavor to complement the sugar shortbread texture. I was looking for an alternate recipe to do than my anise biscotti. Reading the reviews, one error in the recipe is the 1/8" thickness, which results in a few reviewers reporting cookie breakage. I'm thinking it should be 1/4". I simplified this recipe a few ways: used my food processor to mix ingredients (following the additions steps stated in the recipe). Also, rolled the whole dough into a long tube 3"diameter, cellophane wrapped and chilled. Sliced off 1/4" thick coins and placed in pan. Cookies came out exactly as the recipe photo and without the effort and mess of roll out. Make sure to SOAK the anise seeds....it brings out the flavor and softens the seeds. So GOOD!
