Lemon-Anise Biscotti

Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Makes About 48 Biscotti

Ingredients

2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (7 ounces) sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon anise seeds
1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in small bowl.
  2. Whisk sugar and eggs in large bowl to light lemon color; stir in lemon zest, anise seeds, and vanilla. Mix flour mixture into egg mixture until combined and dough forms.
  3. Halve dough and turn each portion onto prepared baking sheet. Using floured hands, quickly stretch each portion of dough into rough 13 by 2-inch loaf, placing them about 3 inches apart. Pat each loaf to smooth it. Bake, until loaves are golden and just beginning to crack on top, about 35 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking.
  4. Let loaves cool for 10 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Cut each loaf diagonally into 3⁄8-inch slices with serrated knife. Lay slices cut side up about 1⁄2 inch apart on baking sheet and return them to oven. Bake until crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes, turning over each cookie halfway through baking. Immediately transfer biscotti from baking sheet to wire rack and let cool completely.
