Sweet Orange Florentines

[layers_of_eli]

I really, really want you to make these. These are the best cookies I've ever tasted, seriously!

And I know you're going to see the anise extract in the recipe and say, "Ew, licorice," but DON'T BE LIKE THAT. I actually HATE licorice flavor, but the anise extract here is just enough to give an amazing depth to the orange, not enough to make the

These look so good and I love orange flavored things, but.....

I don't really want to go buy a whole bottle of anise extract for 1/4 tsp because I, too, don't like licorice. At all. And then I'd be stuck with a nearly full bottle that I know I'm never going to use.

I'm going to bookmark this and maybe make it anyway (just with a different extract) because these look amazing!

Ditto. I don't mind a bit of anise flavor (like in Italian pizzelles), but I think a bottle of extract would go to waste in my cabinet too. Unless I stumbled across a pizzelle maker, LOL.

One of my friends got a pizzelle maker for a wedding present -- apparently she had sweet memories of making pizzelles with her grandmother! Now I want to try to make those with a hint of anise!

It was worth it for me because I figured I'd make similar Italian cookies in the future with the small amount. I wonder if you could work out a trade with someone who enjoys the flavor :) I'm getting creative...
