Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
You may substitute Anise extract for the oil...BUT,,
use 2 T of extract,,as it is not as strong..you will need more to make the anise taste..

cut a snake,place on cookie sheet, they are NOT to spread like a normal cookie..just puff up some..if they spread too much..add more flour,,do another practice pan..if still not stiff enough..add more flour,,,a small amt at a time.....we just throw them on the pan..and sort of arrange them so not touching..if you sit and place each one..it will take forever to do the batch..
