Anise Biscotti
List of Ingredients
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon anise seeds crushed
2 extra large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon anise extractRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Combine flour, sugar, anise seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together eggs, lemon juice and extract and add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a 10 inch log. Place logs about 4 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Cool just enough so that the logs can be handled. Cut each log diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Lay the slices on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until dry and crisp.
For almond biscotti - add 1 cup chopped almonds and 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring instead of anise seeds and extract.
For chocolate chip - add 1 cup of chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Spice - same basic recipe but add 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg.
