Vegan Italian Anise christmas Cookies= I never tried the recipe but it was a good cookie. I would recommend trying it. These are the nastiest cookies in the whole entire world they made me so sick i went to the hospital and was put on life support
I hate wasting my time on recipes that are not real…this one is missing a lot of liquids in order to make into a cookie. The photo is also not at all representative of the cookie. Don’t waste your time…
