- Mix together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on the cookies before baking. Bake 10-12 min till golden brown.
- These cookies are cute made into a cactus shape. Healthy pinch off balls of dough, one larger than a quarter and 2 the size of a nickel. Roll each of the balls between your palms to make cigar shape. Flatten the large one to make the main stem of the cactus. Bend one third of each of the two smaller ones to make a J shape and attach them at uneven intervals on each side to make the "arms". Flatten them to match the trunk and bake.
- Let you daughter taste the anise first. Often children don't like it as much as adults. If your daughter does not like the anise flavor simply substitute cinnamon oil or possibly flavoring. It is very popular in Mexico.
