Cooking Time:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Flour
• 1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoon Orange zest
• 3 ounce Butter
• ¾ cup Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• ¾ cup Walnuts, chopped
• ½ teaspoon Anise extract

Instructions:

• Pre-heat oven to 350. Lightly spray oil onto a large cookie sheet.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and zest. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer. With the mixer running, add 1 egg at a time.
• Add the flour mixture and blend well. Add the anise extract and walnuts and blend well.
• Place the dough on a floured board and form 2 12-inch logs. Place on the cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Allow to cool 15 minutes, then reduce the oven to 300.
• Cut the logs into ½ slices, cutting diagonally. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes (at 300), turning once.

Biscotti becomes hard when exposed to air relatively quickly, make sure it is kept in the airtight container and only take out what you need!
