Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon anise extract
  • 1 cup chopped blanched almonds
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment; set aside.
  2. In bowl of electric mixer, thoroughly cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture and mix well.
  4. Mix in anise extract and chopped almonds until combined.
  5. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Divide dough in half and form into two logs, 1-1/2 inches in diameter and place on prepared baking sheet lengthwise and a few inches apart.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. The rolls will feel firm to the touch. Remove from oven and while still warm and using a sharp knife, cut rolls slightly on the diagonal and about ¾" thick.
  7. Lay slices cut side down back on the cookie sheet and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
