Anisette Biscotti recipe
A quick walk through of how to make anisette biscotti, an Italian cookie recipe.
INGREDIENTS
3 large eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp anise extract
3 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
Beat the eggs, sugar, oil, and anise extract together in a large mixing bowl.
Combine the flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture a little at a time while mixing until all the flour is incorporated into a soft dough.
Cover with food-safe plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Remove dough from the fridge and divide into 2 or 3 portions. Form each portion into a thick log and place onto a baking tray.
Bake for 25 minutes or just until they begin to turn a golden colour.
Remove from the oven and as soon as you can touch the loaves, carefully transfer to a cutting board and cut them into diagonal strips.
Place them back on the baking pan and bake for another 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Anise-Almond & Double Chocolate-Almond Italian Biscotti, RECIPE IN VIDEO!
Italian Biscotti, RECIPE in the video!
The word biscotti means twice baked. These Italian cookies are extra crunchy and are meant to be dipped into coffee or wine!
Today, we made anise-almond dipped in @ghirardelli chocolate and @traderjoes sliced almonds and double-chocolate almonds dipped in chocolate and chopped almonds and chocolate jimmies
NOTE: For this recipe, you would need 5-6 tsp of anise seed if you want to use that. Tradional flavor would be approximately 2 tsp per 10 ounces of flour. (I only used 4. Adjust to your own liking.)

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.
