Aunt Dunette's Italian Anise Biscotti is a traditional Italian bakery product, which has a unique flavor and texture. This type of biscuit is twice-baked, which makes them dry and crunchy; this makes them perfect for dipping them into coffee, tea, or liquor. This recipe contains anise seeds, which gives the biscotti a sweet and aromatic taste. It is perfect for those who love a bit of anise flavor in their dessert. The recipe is easy to follow and uses simple ingredients that anyone can find in their pantry.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.	In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
3.	Add the vegetable oil, anise seed, and vanilla to the mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
4.	In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
5.	Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture while stirring to combine it well and form a dough.
6.	Divide the dough into 2 equal parts and shape them into logs of about 3 inches (7 cm) wide and 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
7.	Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until light brown.
8.	Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Once they have cooled, use a serrated knife to slice each log into 1/2-inch (1.5 cm) slices.
9.	Place the slices cut-side up onto the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
