These crispy cookies are richly flavored with anise, making them the best biscotti to dunk in your cup of coffee! I’ve made this recipe for years, and give them as gifts, along my other cookies. I love how easy this recipe is, and I know that you will enjoy it.
To chop the almonds, I used my Food Chopper, and to bake them perfectly, I used my Rectangle Stone:
One of our most popular kitchen tools, the Food Chopper makes quick work of chopping veggies, cooked meat, and nuts in seconds. It’s the solution to tear-free onion chopping! It’s equipped with a unique stainless-steel blade that rotates with each press of the plunger for consistent results. The more you press the plunger, the finer the chop.
Stone Cookie Sheet
Get ready for the best cookies—soft in the center, crispy but never burned on the bottom! This stone also turns out the best pizza and flatbreads, appetizers, biscuits and scones, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, brunch braids, and so much more. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, everything cooks consistently and turns out light and crispy.
Natural Clay Cookware
Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!
