Anise cookies are a fantastic, semi-sweet cookie made around the Mediterranean. This is my recipe for Greek anise cookies.

I saw Ina make these on her cooking show. The episode was entitled "Bed and Breakfast". I made them and my husband said they are like a savory Parmesan cookie, because they are thicker than a cracker. They were super easy to make and taste nice! The house smelled of yummy parmesan, while they were baking.

Light and delicate, these vanilla anise drop cookies are like a cross between meringues and springerle. The true marker of success with anise drop cookies is whether or not they develop “feet” or Füsschen and a top or Haubchen. During the resting, or aging, period a portion of the egg whites and sugar rises to creating a bit of a meringue-like top layer.

Crisp butter cookies flavored with anise seeds. A classic Christmas cut-out cookie.

These old fashioned Anise Snaps are a rare treat. Soft, buttery cookies with a hint of licorice flavor offer something a bit different for the cookie plate.

It's not officially the holidays in my house until you've enjoyed a homemade cookie with a hot cup of tea (preferably in front of a fireplace or a twinkle-lit tree). One of my favorites growing up was my grandma's anise cookies. Anise is similar in flavor to licorice or fennel even though these ingredients are all derived from different plants. I would say it's more subtle and on the floral side so if you're one of those licorice haters, don't count this cookie out just yet... These cookies…

This anise biscotti recipe will transport you to Italy in just one bite! So buttery, crisp and delicious! They will keep at room temperature in an air-tight container for 1 month (if you don't eat them all first!) or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Pizzelles are a crisp Italian cookie flavored with anise seed. An easy recipe from a neighbor and the best Pizzelles we have ever eaten. A Classic!

These tender, flaky, yet crisp Anise Wreath Cookies are prepared with a basic rolled cookie dough, but flavoured with crushed anise seeds.

The recipe for these Christmas cookies comes from the bakery Rischart in Munich.
