Recipe: Biscotti

1 package Biscotti Mix -- (see recipe)

3 large eggs

1/2 cup butter -- melted

1/2 teaspoon anise extract

1 large egg -- separated

Preheat the oven to 375F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the mix

with 3 eggs, butter, anise extract, and an additional egg yolk from the

separated egg. Beat on low speed, until the dough is smooth. Roll the

dough into two 12" to 14" logs, about 3" wide. Place the logs on a greased

cookie sheet. Brush the logs with the reserved egg white. Bake 30 minutes,

or until the biscotti are golden brown. Remove the biscotti from the oven.

Reduce the oven temperature to 325F. Cut the biscotti on the diagonal into

1/2" slices. Lay the slices on their sides, and return the biscotti to the

oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks, and store in airtight

containers. Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.

Liss Notes: These make a lovely gift, dip the biscotti in chocolate on the ends and wrapped in cellophane given in a coffee mug.
