Perfection. It's a sugar-cookie-textured version of biscotti (fennel in these is the anise flavor in biscotti. My oven temperature is exact; I baked mine 12 minutes because I like my cookies a little less brown and a little less crunchy than many recipes suggest.

I made these cookies twice in one week! The first time I made them, there was hardly any dough. Also noted that the stated bake time was about 5 too long after I didn't watch them closely enough... the first batch was a little dark. Second batch went in for 10 min and turned out very pretty. The second time I made this recipe I made some adjustments: double the recipe (& you can always freeze any extra dough, as noted by another reviewer add a little more ground fennel seed to the mix; bake for 10 min.--- AND keep an eye on the cookies while they are in the oven.
They are not too sweet, and very light-tasting. Also, the fennel seed might sound a bit odd, but it really adds something different and delicious to these cookies! : Thanks, Giada.

These are also my favorite cookies ever!! Not too sweet, easy to make, simple taste yet so nice!! The fennel is so subtle in it, just perfect! Thank you Giada! I am going to try to add some almond extract next time just to get another variety.

Absolutely, hands down, my favorite cookie ever. And I'm a girl who likes her cookies. I followed the instructions to the LETTER and I freshly ground my fennel seed for the occasion. The perfect adult cookie.

Nothing less than the perfect cookie! Not too sweet and the perfect accompaniment to coffee or tea, ice cream, pudding, or custard.

These are seriously one of the easiest and best tasting Italian cookie recipes I've ever come across. Not too sweet, perfect for after dinner. I also add a bit more ground fennel since I'm a big fan of that flavor. I always keep a couple of logs of it in my freezer and then bake off as needed. It's really the only way to keep from eating an entire batch at once!

I highly recommend this recipe. Not only are these delicious cookies incredibly easy to make, they are always a HUGE hit. I have served them at dinner parties and holiday functions and they are the perfect cookie to accompany a rich dinner or other sweet desserts. The fennel adds a perfect depth of flavor, the pine nuts give it a slight nuttiness and the cookie itself has a shortbread flavor.
