Anise Biscotti

Anise Biscotti is a licorice flavored Italian cookie with a crunchy outside and a soft inside that's perfect for dunking into your favorite hot beverage.

One of my all-time favorite desserts is Anise Biscotti or Anisette Toast. And in my younger years, that would be my favorite nighttime snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

I hadn't made these in a while and was so glad I added them to this years baking theme because I just love the simple licorice flavor of anise in this light, crunchy dessert.

How do you make Anise Biscotti?

For this recipe you'll need all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, anise seeds, anise extract, and eggs. Start by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and anise seeds in a large bowl until well blended.

Italian Anise BiscottiIn a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs and anise extract. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix well until all of the ingredients have been incorporated.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is no longer sticky; then form two, 12-inch long logs and flatten them down so that it is no higher than 1-inch.A close up of Anise Biscotti on a Christmas plate.

 

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, add the dough and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool; then slice diagonally into ½-inch thick slices and put them back on the baking sheet.

Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes per side; then remove from the oven. Let cool and allow to harden before serving. Italian Anise Biscotti always make it on my holiday baking trays because they're so delicious and crunchy. Not to mention that it's such an easy recipe too! ~Enjoy!
