How to Make Almond Anise Biscotti

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Stir in the anise extract and almond extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the slivered almonds.
7. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
8. Lightly spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray. Shape the dough into two 12x3 inch logs on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Sprinkle the logs generously with the remaining granulated sugar.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch.
11. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
12. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
13. Using a sharp knife, slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
14. Arrange the biscotti slices on the baking sheet, cut-side down.
15. Bake for 10 minutes.
16. Flip the biscotti and bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
17. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
18. If desired, dip the cooled biscotti into melted chocolate and let the chocolate set.
