Source of Recipe

Cassia


List of Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 Tablespoon anise seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon anise extract
1 cup whole almonds, toasted and chopped


Recipe

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Combine dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a whisk. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs and extracts until well blended.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Dough should be thick and sticky.
Scrape the dough out onto a parchment lined sheet pan.
Flour your hands and shape into a long flat loaf about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide.
Bake until firm and dry, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool 10 min.
Use a long serrated knife and slice into 1/2" wide slices.
Lay the slices cut side down on racks and bake another 20 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden brown.
Cool the biscotti completely before storing.

Makes about 20 biscotti.
