A simple recipe for a delicious treat to serve with coffee. Nonna Rosa is my grandchildren's moniker for me. "Grandma Rose"...they like softer chewier version!

Categories     Hot Drinks

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Tbsp butter (optional-only use for chewy biscotti...no butter makes the traditional crisp crunchy biscotti)
3/4 c sugar
2 whole eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking power
1 pinch salt
1/2 c chopped pecans or almonds
1 c chocolate semi-sweet chips melted

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Butter and dust baking sheet with flour to prevent sticking.
  • 2. Cream together butter and sugar(if butter is used) and add to eggs. Beat well. Mix in vanilla. Add flour/salt/baking powder and nuts and mix well. Shape into two small loaves and bake for 30 minutes or until tops are golden. Remove from oven.
  • 3. Let loaves cool slightly and slice on diagonal 1 inch slices. Return the slices to baking pan and place in oven again...lower oven temp. to 250 degrees. Bake for additional 15 minutes turning slices once while cooking. Cool on racks. Dip top edges in melted chocolate and let dry. These will keep in parchment or an airtight container for several days :) Enjoy!

I was a bit skeptical about the anise flavor, but I'm so glad I tried these biscotti. The anise is not overpowering at all, and it adds a nice depth of flavor. Will make again!
