Anise biscotti are a delicious variety of the traditional Italian cookies simply known as biscotti or cantucci. Their origin dates back to the Tuscany region of Italy, where they were originally made as a dry, hard bread that could be preserved for long periods, ideal to accompany dessert wine or coffee. In Latin America, these cookies have adopted different names and variants depending on the country; in Mexico and other countries, they may also be known as "anise cookies" or "anise bizcochos." Although the ingredients may vary slightly in each region, the essence of the anise flavor is the most recognizable characteristic of this recipe. These cookies are usually crispy and fragrant, perfect to enjoy at any time of the day.
