At least I was expecting a biscotti-like texture. But it's more like a slightly sweet cookie. Not dry like biscotti. Still good, but not something I'll make again.

biscotti means twice baked, UNOCOTTO should have been the proper way,but
for some one that probably wants to improvise, what comes to its mind is ok.
UNSCOTTI litterary means "ONE UNCOOK".
Unocotto, if you want to impress some one, or "COTTO" if you want to be italian.

I figured out what the issue is... you bake the LOG for 1 hour at 325, but if you want the "cookies" (i.e. cut the chilled log and lay out on the cookie sheet, then it's 18 minutes at 350. I tried it both ways. Personally ... I can't figure out why anyone wants to keep it as a log. The slices are far more manageable.

Quite delicious! And, dip them in a little chocolate for a great treat with tea or coffee.

I am confused about the baking time for these cookies. On the show they said 350 for 18 minutes...this recipe says 325 for 1 hour? Can this be right?

I altered the recipe slightly as I was short on almonds. I added some pignoli I had in the house and the zest of a lemon (I love lemon and anise together. Other than that I made the recipe as was seen on the tele. (One should note the logs are chilled then cut into cookies and baked. The directions on the website are not entirely accurate. WONDERFUL COOKIES!!! Thank you for sharing!

Initally they are loaves,,then cut.. and placed on the sheet to bake. That is why they look like a "French" cookie biscotti.

I wanted to bake these today, however, the bake time of 1hr. at 325 ??? I can only imagine a very firm biscotti.

I made these for four Italian cousins and they all wanted the recipe, which I gladly shared. I personally will never make biscotti over these. The only thing I might change would be to add some anise flavoring to make the anise seed taste a little more predominent. These were just the best. All of the other recipes on this episode were equally wonderful. Thank you.
