Almond Biscotti with Anise

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons anise extract
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted and cooled

Directions

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, chopped toasted almonds, and chopped anise seed. Mix on low until homogeneous, then add eggs and vanilla; continue to mix just long enough to form a soft dough.
