BISCOTTI, TRADITIONAL ANISE



Biscotti, Traditional Anise image

A friend's daughter gave me the original recipe years ago and the only major change I've made is using Sambuca liqueur rather than anise extract. My 3 honorary grandchildren Jerod, James and Shiloh all teethed on these and their Mom Sarah request them every Christmas season. These Italian dunking cookies go well with milk, coffee or tea.
