Italian Anisette Cookies
"Note: One of the keys to this recipe is making sure that the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Also - we think the flavor of these cookies improves if you allow them to sit overnight. But be sure to store unrefrigerated in an air-tight container to prevent the cookies from getting stale...."
