Biscotti

Breakfast 🍳Dessert 🍰Snack 🍿 Italian 🇮🇹

Biscotti are classic twice-baked Italian cookies with a light, crisp bite perfect for dunking in coffee or tea. Anise lends a fragrant, gently sweet note, while the double bake creates their signature snap. Serve Biscotti as an after-dinner treat or for an elegant afternoon pick‑me‑up.

  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract until well blended. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder; stir this into the egg mixture to make a heavy dough.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log the length of a cookie sheet. Set one log on each prepared sheet; press the dough to 1/2-inch thickness.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Move the logs to wire racks; let them sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Slice each log crosswise into about eighteen slices, each 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices cut sides up back on the cookie sheets.

  7. 7

    Bake until lightly toasted and golden brown, 6 to 10 minutes per side.

  8. 8

    Serve and enjoy.
