Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.

Time 3h51m

Yield 28

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality anise extract and butter for the best flavor. Freshly grated orange zest will also add a lovely citrusy note.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help the biscotti hold their shape in the oven.
Slice the biscotti twice: The first time you slice them, they should be about 1 inch thick. The second time you slice them, they should be about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Conclusion:

Stella Doro-style anise toast biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. Simply following the tips above will create an authentic and flavorful biscotti perfect for any occasion. Be sure to store them in an airtight container so they stay fresh for up to two weeks.
