Anise & Honey Biscuits image

These delightful, sweet biscuits were heavenly hot from the oven, drizzled with honey, but they also kept well and were good the next morning for breakfast and at lunch with a little cheese. I used anise seed from www.Penzeys.com, and it had a terrific flavor. The seeds soften during the baking process, and it smells like Springerle cookies when the biscuits are baking (but these are much faster to make!)

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but these cookies were still very good. The honey flavor really shines through.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'm not a big fan of anise. But I'm so glad I did! The anise flavor is subtle and perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the honey. These cookies are now one of my favorites!
