"My family calls these "Italian Cookies". They can be made with Anisette or with Anise flavoring. The orange juice adds nice flavor. They are a cake-like cookie that is a Christmas tradition in my family. (They get huge due to all the baking powder, so do not roll too large)."

"The dough may be sticky" is an incredible understatement. I didn't like these very cakey cookies, but my grandmother loved them. They seemed a little bland to me. Which is bizarr considering...
