Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roughly crush the anise seeds with a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

Place the wet ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until well combined.

Place the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir or whisk to combine them.

Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture and mix them together until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ¼ to ½-inch thick according to your preference.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out as many treats as possible. Re-roll and cut as needed. Place the cutouts on the baking sheets.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Rotate the sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.

Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Store the treats in an airtight container.
