Stella D'oro Style Anisette Toast Biscotti image

This recipe brings me back to my Italian childhood where my grandmother would give these to us as a treat to go with our little lattes when mom was not around. This is a Sponge (soft) Biscotti.

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.
