Chocolate Anise Biscotti

By Lorraine

I never get tired of these cookies.
Biscotti are one of my favorite.
They freeze well and I think they make a nice little gifts packaged
in a treat bag and tied with a string

Chocolate Anise Biscotti

Recipe souece Giada De Laurentiis

PRINT RECIPE

about 2 dozen

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground anise seed
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips


Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Add the ground anise seed and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Form the dough into a 16-inch-long, 3-inch-wide log. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 30 minutes. Cool 30 minutes.

Place the log on the cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the cookies cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies until pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely.

NOTES

To make the biscotti even more special, dip the bottom edge into melted chocolate and allow to cool/harden on a baking rack in the fridge.

To freeze, lay biscotti between layers of waxed paper and store in a plastic freezer container.

    It is early in the morning, and I am sitting here with my cup of hot coffee. Imagine what it was like for me to see your scrumptious looking biscotti…so tempting. And I do think anyone would be thrilled to receive a gift of those.

    They look so beautiful and delicious. The recipe doesn't sound too difficult, so I should give them a try.
    And yes, they would make wonderful homemade gifts.

    My husband LOVES! Biscotti! He just made a batch. This time he made Orange Raspberry Biscottis and they came out so good. Going to pass this recipe onto him 🙂

    I must confess, I've never made biscotti (even with all the baking I do), but these look delicious. Will have to try them myself, and soon!

    I have been busy with so much after my mother's Homegoing that I am now trying to catch up on yours. I can hardly believe your sweet granddaughther will be one. Her basket of felt toys is adorable. So much to comment on. You even make oatmeal look good!

    What beautiful biscotti! They look like a wonderfully indulgent treat.
    I'm a big oatmeal fan, too. So easy, and healthy. Nice to have a hot breakfast. I put an apple, brown sugar and cinnamon in mine, and milk over top.

    These look yummy!! I have never tried making biscotti but keep intending to. If one were not a fan of anise, I guess you could leave that out? You always have such great looking recipes, Lorraine!! Have a sweet day. Linda
