Almond Anise Biscotti

1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. butter or margarine, softened
1 Tbsp. anise seed
3 eggs
3 C. flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 C. chopped almonds

Beat sugars and butter until well blended. Add anise seed and eggs; blend well. Stir in flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in almonds. Shape dough into two 10 x 1-in. rolls. Place rolls 4 in. apart on prepared cookie sheet. Flatten each to 2-in. width. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-30 min. or until golden brown. Cool completely.

Cut diagonally into 1/2 in. slices. Arrange slices, cut side down, on unprepared cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 6-10 min. or until bottom begins to brown. Turn and bake for an additional 3-5 min. or until crisp. Cool completely.

Store in tightly covered container for up to one month. The anise flavor gets stronger with time.
