My Italian relatives didn't realize I'd taken a shortcut in making these. I made 8 batches at Christmas and everyone raved and asked for the recipe. Read More

I got mixed reviews when I took this to work. I enjoyed it and it went great with mocha. Although the recipe called for 6 tbsp I only put in about 3 tsp of anise extract. Also I didn't have anise so I used cumin seed instead. It still came out great and had a very distinctive flavor. I will make it again. Read More

I made this last night it smelled the whole house of anise it was wonderful. It is nothing like the biscotti I made before it's too cake like the flavor is good I only used 2 tablespoons of the extract and only half the anise seeds. I would cook it again only if I could figure out how to make it more consitency of a true biscotti. Read More

I experimented with these and my husband took them to work and he said they were gone in less than an hour! I used anisette liquor and half the almonds. I also made the initial cut in thirds and made more pieces. They were great!! Read More
