Chef notes
“Aunt Tillie’s cookies” is literally all we’ve ever called these in my family! It wasn’t Christmas without these cookies. My great Aunt Tillie would always bring them and we’d sit around the table after a big dinner and dip them in coffee. Even when I was little, I was allowed to dip them in coffee! My husband’s family has them every Christmas too, but they called them dodos. The recipe is a little different but they’re still that classic, soft, not too sweet, anise cookie.
