Classic Anise Biscotti

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Anise Biscotti.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and prepare two cookie sheets by either greasing them or lining them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, blend together sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and anise extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, then gradually incorporate this dry blend into the wet ingredients to create a thick dough.

4. Step 4

   Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a log that fits your cookie sheets.

5. Step 5

   Gently flatten the logs to about half an inch thick and place them on the prepared sheets.

6. Step 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

7. Step 7

   Once baked, transfer the logs to wire racks and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.

8. Step 8

   After cooling, slice each log crosswise into approximately eighteen half-inch-thick pieces, arranging the slices cut-side up back on the cookie sheets.

9. Step 9

   Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 6 to 10 minutes on each side, until they are lightly toasted and golden.
