HOMEMADE ALMOND & ANISE BISCOTTI: Easy and Delicious Recipe for Biscotti, Perfect for Dipping
This Homemade Almond & Anise Biscotti recipe is so easy and delicious, you're going to wonder where it's been all your life! I love it so much. It's my friend's family recipe, that she gave me years ago, and every time I make them, they come out perfect. My friend is Italian, so I'd say this biscotti recipe is pretty authentic. As you know, Italian cookies are often made for dipping, and that is certainly the case with this recipe. But I have to say, they're not overly crunchy. You know how some biscotti you bite into, you feel like you could break your teeth? Well, you don't have to worry about that. This biscotti has just the right amount of crunchiness. Here's the recipe:
Homemade Almond & Anise Biscotti
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 cup chopped almonds
2 Tbsp. anise seeds
3 tsp. baking powder
2 cubes/1 cup butter (room temperature)
4 eggs
In large mixing bowl, mix butter until fully softened. Add eggs and continue to mix. Then you can begin adding your dry ingredients one at a time, making sure they're incorporated well. Add sugar, flour, baking powder and anise seeds. Mix until you have a consistent dough. Finally, add your chopped/sliced almonds. (Be careful not to over-mix at this point, because you don't want all the sliced almonds to break.) Cover your dough and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Once dough has been chilled, preheat your oven to 375º. Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and divide your dough into 2 or 4 equal parts. Use your fingers to form flat logs out of each section of dough. They should each be about an inch thick. Place them on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Take them out of the oven and cool at least 5 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350º.
Take the baked dough off the cookie sheet and place it on a surface you can cut on. Slice the logs with a serrated knife, on a slight diagonal, into individual biscotti. Place them back on the cookie sheet, laying them on their sides, and bake them another 15 minutes, until golden brown. (If you do like them really crunchy, you can flip them over and let them bake longer. But try them like this first.) Let them cool, and enjoy! You'll especially love dipping them in coffee, so be sure to get a pot brewing.

2 egg whites
Maraschino cherries (about 15 cherries)
