I usually make biscotti every year, especially during the holidays to give as gifts.

In this recipe, I would reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup and substitute xylitol or coconut sugar, which are lower on the glycemic index for those concerned about their blood sugar levels. The 1/4 cup reduction will not make much difference in the texture of the dough. In fact, you could reduce it further if you don’t like an overly-sweet flavor.

As for using anise seeds, they’re a snap to work with. I just put a teaspoon or more in my spice grinder, which is actually a dedicated coffee grinder (Krups, for ex) and grind away. It takes seconds and imparts a beautiful licorice-like flavor. I also would add a teaspoon of fennel seeds and grind them too. This gives the biscotti a beautiful, Italian flavor and I’ve been using these two spices for yeasr in my biscotti which gets raves from everyone I’ve given them to.
