1 cup nuts, coarse chop (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts - any type)
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
6 teaspoons brandy extract
6 teaspoons vanilla extract
10 teaspoons anise extract (or whole little bottle)
4 cups flour
Beat eggs. Add sugar. Beat again. Add extracts. Beat after EACH addition of extract. Add flour and mix. Add chopped nuts. Batter will be loose.
Put on 2 ungreased cookie sheets (divide batter roughly in half).
May sprinkle with tiny candy dots (OPTIONAL*)
bake 35 minutes or until light brown n 350 degree (F). Remove IMMEDIATELY and slice onto cutting board. Cut NOW and let cool (if you want them a little harder, place cut biscotti in oven after you have turned off heat and let cool overnight).
*I no longer use the little round dragees, but that was part of the original recipe
