Baking My Way: Anise Honey Bites

I wasn't too sure that I would like this recipe but wow, so go! I'm going to make this one again for sure! The cookies are soft, chewy, and just have a really fresh taste. 

1/2 C. Sugar

1/2 C. Honey

1 Egg          

1 3/4 to 2 1/4 C. Flour

1 1/2 teaspoon Anise seed      

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/8 teaspoon Salt                        

2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar

Heat oven to 350.  Grease cookie sheet.  In large bowl combine sugar, honey, and egg; blend well.  Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup: level off.  Add remaining ingredients except powdered sugar, stirring in enough flour to form a soft dough; mix well.  With floured hands shape dough into 1" balls.  Place 2" apart on cookie sheets. 

Bake at 350 for 4-8 mins or until bottom of cookies are light golden brown. 

Immediately remove from cookie sheets. 

Cool completely, sprinkle with powdered sugar.  

Makes 3 1/2 doz.
