ANISETTE BISCOTTI

My great-great-aunt Josie created this recipe and handed it down through the family. The anise seed and anisette give it an authentic Italian flavor. A bit labor intensive, but they are so worth it! Great for dunking in tea or coffee, or just munching on. I double the recipe and give them out for Christmas every year.

Time 3h51m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons anisette liqueur
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon anise seeds
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Beat sugar and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in walnuts, oil, anisette liqueur, brandy, and anise seeds. Fold in flour and baking powder until dough comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and chill, about 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator. Use greased hands to shape half the dough into a 1 1/2-inch-wide log on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough on second baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, switching baking sheets halfway through, until dough is pale golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer logs to a cutting board and slice into 1-inch pieces at a 45-degree angle using a sharp or serrated knife. Arrange slices on their sides on the baking sheets.
  • Bake again in the preheated oven, flipping slices over halfway through, until lightly browned, about 14 minutes.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c sugar
1/4 c butter, softened
3 eggs
5 tsp anise extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Grease 2 baking sheets
  • 2. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in one egg until completely incorporated, then another. Beat in the last egg along with the anise extract. Mix in the flour until just incorporated.
  • 3. This batter will be wet and sticky! Using a rubber spatula, divide the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Form each portion into a 12"-inch long log, 1"-inch thick.
  • 4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool 5 minutes. Cut into 3/4-inch thick slices using a serrated knife, and place cut-side-down onto the baking sheets. Return to the oven, and bake 5 to 10 minutes until the bottoms turn light golden brown. Turn the cookies over, and continue baking until light golden brown on the other side, 5 to 10 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Be careful not to burn them. For a chocolate dipped Biscotti, melt semi-sweet chocolate and shortening over a double boiler, and dip the cooled cookies on one side into the chocolate.
