Brownie cookies get kicked up with star anise

All the rich, fudgy flavor of a brownie, but with the convenience of an easy-to-handle cookie. And since we already were tinkering, we also added five-spice powder, a Chinese seasoning made from a blend of five spices: fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns.

The result of that blend – of which star anise tends to dominate – is a peppery bite that works so well with the deep chocolate of the cookie.
