Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar, beating together until light and fluffy. Add the anise extract and eggs, beating to incorporate.
- In a medium bowl, mix flours and baking powder together. Add this slowly to the sugar mixture.
- Once combined, tip out onto a clean counter and split into two equal balls. Roll these into logs and place on prepared baking sheets. Pat these down a bit as they will raise in the oven.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. It is important to slice while the biscotti is still warm to avoid too much crumbling. Cut on a slight diagonal slant.
- Place the slices back onto the baking sheet on their sides and bake for a further 10 minutes each side (flipping the cookies over halfway through) to give them the twice baked crunch of the Italian classic. (see note)
Notes
- My family rarely does the second bake for these cookies and we serve them fresh sliced after the first bake. They are slightly softer and less hardened/crisp than the twice baked version.
