FAQs
Q: What does anise taste like?
Anise has a mild, sweet flavor similar to black licorice — aromatic but not overpowering.
Q: Can I use anise seeds instead of extract?
Yes, but grind them first for a smoother texture. Use 1 teaspoon ground anise seeds per teaspoon of extract.
Q: Are these cookies crunchy or soft?
They’re soft and cake-like, not hard like traditional biscotti.
Q: Can I make them ahead?
Definitely! These cookies stay moist for several days and taste even better the next day.
