napoli cookies

Recipe by

My Grandmom Petrino and Aunt Josey made these cookies for every holiday, as a child I loved them. They were hard, when I started to bake them. I changed it up a little bit and don't bake them as long, they are like little anise cakes melting in your mouth. Great for after dinner with a cup of tea or coffee..I have mine with milk..ENJOY...
