List of Ingredients
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown sugar
1/4 Cup Margarine or butter; soft
1 Tablespoon Anise seed
3 Eggs
3 Cups Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking powder
1/2 Cup Chopped almonds
Beat sugars and butter until well blended. Add anise seed and eggs; blend well. Stir in flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in almonds. Shape dough into two 10x1 rolls. Place rolls 4 in. apart on greased cookie sheet. Flatten each to 2-in. width. Bake at 350~ for 20-30 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely; cut diagonally into 1/2 in. slices. Arrange slices, cut side down, on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 6-10 minutes or until bottom begins to brown. Turn and bake for an additional 3-5 min. or until crisp. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container. (Will keep for one month. Be aware that the flavors do tend to get stronger with time.) Sandi, I also used this recipe to make chocolate chip/pecan Biscotti. I omitted the almonds and anise seed; then added 1/2 cup of chopped pecans and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Also, I added 1 teaspoon vanilla before adding the flour and baking powder. These were a favorite for those who don't care for anise. Recipe
