and  SOS Cookies, (or biscotti di Monreale)


Daniele’s Biscotti

Mix Together:
1-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp ground anise
½ cup chopped nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Blend Separately:
½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
¼ cup honey, room temperature
2 tbsp melted butter

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Blend thoroughly.

Split dough into halves. Roll each one into a log to fit your cookie sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until firm.

Cool so you can cut. Then slice into ½-inch diagonals.

Return to the oven for 10-12 minutes.

Optional: When the biscotti are still warm, brush with Grand Marnier or another liqueur of choice.
