    These were delicious. Giant cookies full of flavor. I made these for Christmas cookies. The sugar coating is delightful and the five spice powder you choose matters because that's the majority of the flavor. I used Spicewalla's mix and it is certainly strong and very anise forward. A great cookie if you love molasses and anise!

    The texture of these cookies was spot-on. Crackly crust, chewy interior, just perfect. I was making these with teen palates in mind so I reduced the 5 spice seasoning to a heaping tsp instead of a tablespoon. Plus I was using Burlap and Barrel brand so I knew it would be fresh and potent. It was a good call on my part because you could definitely still taste all the flavors of 5 spice but it wasn't overwhelming. The tablespoon would have been overkill even for me. I will most definitely be making these again with my kids full approval.
