Animonbuhcotti are Italian biscotti-like cookies that are dense and crunchy. They are perfect for serving with coffee or tea as they keep their shape well and don't crumble easily. This recipe is a classic version that incorporates chopped nuts and anise seed for added flavor. Baking the dough twice helps to dry out the cookies, making them perfect for dunking in your favorite hot beverage. Try making a batch today and see just how easy it is to enjoy these delightful cookies!

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3.	Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
4.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and crushed anise seed.
5.	Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
6.	Fold in the nuts.
7.	Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a flat log approximately 2 inches wide and 12 inches long.
8.	Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
9.	Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing the logs into 1/2-inch slices.
10.	Return the slices to the baking sheet, cut-side down, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until lightly toasted.
