Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup softened butter
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
4 teaspoons anise extract

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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. Divide the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Form each portion into a 12-inch long log, 1/2-inch thick.
  • 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 golden brown. Turn the cookies over, and continue baking until golden brown on the other side, 5 to 10 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

ANISETTE BISCOTTI



Anisette Biscotti image

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.

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 3h

Yield Makes 65

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons anise seeds
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups (11 ounces) almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
3 large eggs, plus 1 more, beaten, for brushing
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, anise seeds, salt, and nuts. Transfer to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs; beat until a stiff dough comes together, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half. Form each half into a 12-inch log. (Dough may be sticky; dampen your hands for easier handling.) Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten so each log is 13 inches long, 2 1/4 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick.
  • Brush logs with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until firm and very pale golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool on pans on a wire rack, 40 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Using a serrated knife with a sawing motion, cut logs into slices slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. Arrange, cut-side up, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until dry to touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on pans on racks, 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the anise extract. Look for one that is pure and has a strong flavor.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the biscotti tough.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. If they are still soft, they will not be crispy.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Anisette biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a formal party. With their crunchy texture and sweet anise flavor, these biscotti are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
