Italian Nut Biscotti image

These biscotti's are the old Italian favorites, My Daughter-in-laws Mother always made these at Christmas for everyone to enjoy. Now this is my Favorite Biscotti recipe. I have been making them at christmas time & other times for years. My family always looks forward to my making them.They are great served with coffee or wine. These rusk-type cookies are studded with nuts and flavored with anise. You Twice bake them to a toasty crunchiness. They do take time,But,are well worth it. Prep time does not include Refrigerate time.

I'm not a big fan of anise, so I omitted it from the recipe. The biscotti were still very good.

These biscotti were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The nuts added a nice crunch and the anise flavor was perfect.
