Materials

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp anisette liqueur
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp anise seeds
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350℉
  • In a medium mixing bowl, blend the butter and sugar together.
  • Add the eggs and the anisette liqueur. Mix until smooth.
  • Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Fold out onto a lightly-floured work surface and shape into two oblong loaves. The dough will be sticky. Lightly-flouring your hands will help with stickiness.
  • Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 30 to 40 minutes. The biscotti loaf will become brown, cracked, and will sound slightly hollow when tapped. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 400℉.
  • Gently slice each biscotti loaf diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay each piece on the baking sheet with the cut side down.
  • Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Flip the biscotti.
  • Bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Cool and store in an air-tight container.
