Italian Easter Cookies (Biscotti)
This is my Italian grandmother's recipe from long ago. She use to make these cookies for every Easter celebration. I have since picked up where she left off and now make these cookies as part of our Easter tradition. I love the anise flavoring but if you don't like anise you can substitute with almond extract and they are just as good! This is my favorite cookie to dip in my coffee! Enjoy!

Cook's Notes:
You can use both whole or 2% milk.
For the icing, I use 2 teaspoons of anise extract but you can substitute with almond extract. Start with 1 teaspoon anise and taste; add more if needed, depending on your personal taste.
These cookies freeze well and they are great for dunking in coffee!
