Nonna Mia's Chocolate & Anise Biscotti (Cookies) - e107
Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti - (everybody's grandma), bakes up an incredibly easy, but absolutely delicious, chocolate anise biscotti. These crunchy treats get their crispiness from being twice-baked, in fact, biscotti is simply translated as 'bis' - twice and 'cotti' = baked. These are the ultimate dunking cookie, so be sure to pour yourself one when they are ready!
Dry Ingredients:
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour (500 grams)
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder (14 grams)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (6 grams)
Wet Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups of granulated sugar (300 grams)
- 1 cup of softened butter (227 grams)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons of anise seeds (12 grams)
- 1 ounce of anise liqueur (30 ml)
- 2 cups of chocolate chips (170 grams)
Note: Nonna often uses olive oil in lieu of butter. If you opt for oil, use 3/4 of a cup as opposed to a cup of butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, or by hand, cream the butter and sugar. One at a time, add the eggs to the mixture. Add 2 tablespoons of anise seeds and an ounce of anise liqueur. Once mixed, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape the dough into two logs, transfer them to a parchment-lined tray, and using your hands, flatten them somewhat.
Preheat oven to 350 F (180C) and bake for 30 minutes. Place on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes, then cut in 1/2-3/4 inch slides, about 1.3-1.9 cm, diagonally.
Again, on the parchment-lined tray, return to the oven for about 10 minutes.
YIELD: about 48
Pour yourself an espresso, and enjoy! Buon appetito!

Holiday Biscotti
RECIPE COURTESY OF GIADA DE LAURENTIIS
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 20 min
Prep: 25 min
Cook: 55 min
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup dried cranberries
12 ounces good-quality white chocolate, chopped
Red and green sugar crystals, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the pistachios and cranberries.
Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
Place the log on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Dip half of the biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Sprinkle with the sugar crystals. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.
The biscotti can be made ahead. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.

Chocolate Hazelnut & Anise Biscotti (Biscotti al Cioccolato con Anice)
Ciao ragazzi!
This beautiful biscotti recipe reminds me of summers in Capri, and you'll soon find out why.
The dreamy combination of bright citrus, toasted hazelnut, deep chocolate, and the complex aroma of anise will hug every corner of your kitchen.
I invite you to make these biscotti (one of Peppino's ALL time favourite) and some new memories, and have fun doing it!!!
MANGIA, AMICI! (Eat, friends!)
~~~
INGREDIENTI (Ingredients)
Dry:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tsp baking powder
½ Tsp baking soda
1 Tsp ground anise seed
¼ Tsp Kosher salt
Wet:
½ stick (4 Tbsp) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup of sugar
3 large eggs, plus 1 yolk
½ Tsp Anise Extract, OR 1 Tbsp Sambuca or other anise liqueur
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
½ cup chopped hazelnuts
METODO (Method)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On another piece of parchment, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, aniseed, and salt.
In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and yolk at medium speed, one at a time, beating well to combine the mixture. Beat in the sambuca and orange zest. Add the dry ingredients, and mix to form a smooth dough. Add the nuts, and mix just to combine. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes
Divide the dough in half, and form into two flattish 12-inch logs, about 3 inches apart, on the baking sheet. (If the dough is too sticky, dust it and your hands with flour.) Bake until the logs are puffed and cooked through but not colored, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and carefully place the logs on a cooling rack. Decrease the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Let the logs cool about 10 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut the logs into ½-inch biscotti. Arrange these on the baking sheet so they aren’t touching, and bake them until crisp on the top, about 20-25 minutes.
Cool them completely on baking racks and ENJOY!

Recipe
Yield: About 3 dozen
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
½ cup (125 mL) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 tsp (10 mL) finely grated lemon zest
¾ tsp (4 mL) pure almond extract
¾ cup (120 g) whole raw almonds
½ cup (65 g) dried cranberries
1 ¾ cups (265 g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
½ tsp (2 mL) fine salt
½ tsp (2 mL) ground nutmeg
1 egg whisked with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water, for brushing
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, eggs, lemon zest and almond extract together. Stir in the almonds and dried cranberries.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a separate bowl, add this to the wet mixture and stir until completely blended. Shape the dough into 2 logs about 12-inches long, place on the baking tray and pat down to flatten (you can flour your hands to prevent sticking). Brush the logs with the egg mixture and bake for about 35 minutes, until a rich golden brown. Cool the logs on the baking tray a little bit, but so they are still warm to the touch.
4. Using a serrated knife, slice the logs into cookies just over ½-inch thick. Place these back on the baking tray, leaving just a little space between them (you may need a second baking tray) and return them to the oven to bake about 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the baking tray to cool completely.
