Anise Almond Biscotti

1. 1

   Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350u00b0F. Once the oven is hot, toast almonds for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant but not burnt.

2. 2

   Combine flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Mix sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and aniseed in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until blended. Coarsely chop the almonds and mix almonds in.

3. 3

   Divide dough in half. Using floured hands, place each half of dough on a cookie sheet and shape each dough half into a 13x3-inch log. Whisk the egg white in a small bowl until foamy; brush over the top and sides of each dough log.

4. 4

   Bake logs until golden, about 30 minutes. Cool logs completely on the sheet on a rack for 25 minutes. Maintain the oven temperature.

5. 5

   Transfer logs to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut logs on the diagonal into 1/2-inch wide slices. Arrange cut side down on the same baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Turn biscotti over and bake until just beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
