These are not the "traditional" italian wedding cookie but something my Grandmother made for EVERYONE of her childrens and Grandchildres weddings. They travel well and are perfuect for shipping as they hold up to the beating. The Anise can be replaced with ANY flavoring. My children love almond and lemon in place of the anise.
