From my friend, Rob Rodini, this recipe for Italian biscotti!

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter, sugar and anise flavoring.
Beat eggs and hazelnuts into the above mixture. (Note: if you use a
highpowered mixer for chopping nuts, do by hand at end; they tend to get
too fine otherwise.) Add flour, baking powder and salt.

On a floured surface, knead gently until smooth. Divide dough intothree
equal pieces and shape into a roll just under the length of a cookie baking
sheet. Roll the roll into sesame seeds to coat it (optional). Place each
roll on a cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven, cool and
then slice roll cross wise into about Three fourths in diagonal slices. Toast about
10 minutes on each side.

Note: My fiends have done variations whereby they've One half cup of flour with
sifted cocoa. And have sometimes added chocolate chips. It's a recipe you
can play around with. Also, egg substitute seems to work well. COOL
COMPLETELY before storing; they keep almost indefinitely in an airtight
container.
