Almond Anise Biscotti (Greek Paximadakia)
Print this recipe here:
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar (plus more for garnish)
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups (450 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup toasted coarsely ground almonds
1-2 tablespoons anise seeds
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Beat the butter with the sugar, salt, almond and vanilla extracts. Beat over medium-high speed until fluffy.
Combine the flour, baking powder, nuts, and anise seeds in a large bowl and mix together.
Add the eggs to the mixer one at a time and beat until combined and fluffy.
Add the flour mixture slowly until incorporated and a dough is formed.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and form them into logs (about 1/2 inch thick).
Transfer the logs onto a half sheet baking (13 by 18 inch) tray that has been lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops of the logs with granulated sugar and lightly press the sugar into them.
Bake on the center rack for about 25 minutes until pale golden and the center of the loaves is firm.
Set them aside to cool.
Slice the loaves into about 1/2-inch thick slices cut on the diagonal.
Place the slices onto the baking tray and bake (325°F) for about 15 minutes.
Cool completely and store the cookies in an airtight container.
Serve with Greek coffee and enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS BISCOTTI
Almond Anise Biscotti
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups of sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon anise extract
1 cup toasted sliced almonds- chopped
1 beaten egg white (beat till frothy)
Directions:
Melt butter, cool slightly. To a large bowl, add sugar, eggs, vanilla and anise. Add dry ingredients. Mix in chopped toasted almonds. Divide dough in thirds and shape into logs with floured hands. Place on parchment covered baking sheet.
Brush logs with frothy egg white.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until nicely browned and slightly firm.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly for about 10 minutes. Slice logs and return to cookie sheets. Bake another 10 minutes or so on each side, until lightly browned and firm to the touch.
***In the video, I altered the above basic recipe by using: butternut extract (which is equal amounts of almond, vanilla and butter extract) cranberries, white chocolate and fresh orange rind. To be honest, I prefer 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of almond extract when making cranberry, orange and white chocolate biscotti. Feel free to experiment with add-ins.

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.

FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!
