Biscotti - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
3 eggs
3 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. anise seed, crushed
2 Tbsp. grated lemon rind
2 Tbsp. grated orange rind
1 c. chopped or slivered blanched almonds

Preparation

Mix butter and sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, until fluffy. Sift flour and baking powder together.
Then stir into butter mixture.
Add remaining ingredients.
Divide dough into 3 parts. Shape each part into long rolls, 1 1/2-inches in diameter.
Place each roll on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten top.
The older the cookie sheet, the better I think they come out.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, cut 3/4-inch slices.
Arrange slices, cut side down, on cookie sheet, about 1-inch apart.
Bake slices another 15 minutes or until golden brown.
