" Preheat the oven to 350° F.
" At medium speed in an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of butter and 2 cupsof sugar until fluffy.
" Beat-in 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of honey.
" Mix -- then add gradually -- 3-1/2 cups of flour, 2 tsp of soda, 2 tspof freshly ground star anise, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of flake coconut and mix thoroughly.
" Drop the dough balls from an ice-cream scoop, 2 to 3 inches apart, onto nonstick baking sheets.
" Flatten the dough balls with a fork (about 1/2 inch thick). (-- or roll the dough to about 1/2 thick and cut 'em out with a cookie-cutter if you prefer wimpy little lady-style cookies to these big 5-inch cowboy cookies.)
" Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
" Let cool on baking sheets.
" Don't let Ed Plummer near 'em if you want others to have some.
