Recipes FAQ

What is anise extract?

Anise extract is a concentrated flavoring made from anise seeds. It has a sweet, licorice-like flavor and is commonly used in baking.

Can I use a different type of nut in this recipe?

Recipe Tips

  • If you prefer a softer biscotti, you can reduce the second baking time by a few minutes.
