• If you are using anise oil, then use less amount than you would the flavour, as oil is stronger. But taste a few after been cooled and you can always add more flavouring as you go. I have also added a few tablespoons of cornstarch in place of some of the flour, so they stay crisp in those humid days. Hope you do try and like this heirloom recipe. Amount of cookies depends on the size you make them also. Also the batter can be covered and placed in the fridge for a few hours or overnight too.
