Anise Almond Biscotti
2 1/2 C flour
1 C sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp Anise Seed
1 C sliced almonds
1/4 tsp salt
3 lg eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, blend flour, sugar, baking powder, Anise Seed,
almonds, and salt, using an electric mixer on low speed. In a separate
bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla. With mixer running, slowly pour egg
mixture into bowl. Mix just until the dough comes together. Do not
over-mix. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a 12x2-inch
log. Place logs onto cookie sheet. Bake 30 minutes or until slightly
risen and firm to touch. Remove cookie sheet from oven. Cool logs on
wire rack 15 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Using a sharp
serrated knife, cut logs diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. Place slices
in single layer on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 3500F for 10-13
minutes or until crisp and golden. Cool on cookie sheet.
