Anisette Toast Biscotti – A Slice of Heaven
You might think, “Biscotti? Isn’t that just a fancy name for a crunchy cookie?” Well, yes, but this isn’t just any ordinary cookie. This is the kind of treat that pairs perfectly with your favorite coffee or tea, and they’re even fun to dunk! Now, let’s see what we need to get all fancy in the kitchen.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this scrumptious delight:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon anisette liqueur (or any anise flavoring)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped almonds (optional, for that extra crunch)
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients, let’s get to the fun part – baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that kitchen all toasty!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. This isn’t a dance party; we want this to be smooth!
- In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until you get a fluffy mixture – think clouds, but tastier!
- Add the anisette liqueur and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Stir it up, baby!
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined. You should now have a thick dough. If you’ve opted for almonds, fold them in gently.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until they’re lightly golden. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before cutting them!
- Once cooled, slice the logs into 1-inch thick pieces and lay them on the baking sheet cut side down. Bake again for another 10-15 minutes on each side until they’re crisp. Voila, perfection!
Now, just sit back with your freshly made Anisette Toast Biscotti, dip them into your favorite beverage and relish the moment. You’ve earned it! Happy snacking!
