Salerno Santa's Favorites Holiday Original Recipe Anise Cookies, 10 Oz

Great taste

My husband and I are originally from Illinois and absolutely love those cookies, however, we moved to Florida and you can't find them here. I ended up paying $15 for one box which quite frankly I will not do that again. That price was ok for that one time.

A former coworker used to bring anise cookies to the office every year at Christmas. She got me addicted to them, but she moved away. So, I was happy when I discovered these cookies. They aren't quite as good as her homemade ones, but they are still pretty good. I buy a box every year.

I grew up on Jingles cookies and so disappointed they are no longer around. I came across an article discussing those cookies and it mentioned this brand is still around. I was not disappointed in the taste and it brough back so many memories. I wish these would be available in stores. Price was high for a box of cookies but worth the occasional splurge.

These are still great but about the third of the size they used to be! I couldn't believe it! This is the only place I've been able to find them, albeit for a ridiculous price.

Size is small. Yeah the originals weren't huge but these are what Hershey would call "funsize." Sugar crystals are dust. No one is expecting blueberry muffin sized sugar crystals but the sugar on top of these is the excess from another product collected undernesth the belt line. Or the manufacturer intentionally crushes the crystals to save a buck. And the Anise flavor? Faint. Light. Oh it's there just nowhere near "the original recipe." These will not be purchased again. I'm gonna learn how to bake. These are that bad. I can't do any worse for my ten bucks a box.

I found these a few years back and realized how much I missed Jingles. Im so glad Amazon had them because the sell out locally before Christmas. So good, just like I remember Jingles tasted.

These cookies are not quite as good as the Santa’s favorites from years ago., The taste is there but they are poorly packaged, much smaller than they used to be and so many were in broken pieces. Expiration date comes up in only a month and not very fresh.
