1/2 c  Butter, softened
      1 c  Sugar
      3    Eggs, divided
      1 tb Anise seeds
      2 ts Grated lemon peel
      2 ts Grated orange peel
      3 c  All purpose flour
    1/3 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Baking soda
      1 c  Chopped walnuts
      1 c  Raisins
    Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a cookie sheet. Combine butter,
sugar
  and 2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk (reserve remaining egg white); beat until
light
  and fluffy. Stir in anise seeds, lemon peel and orange peel. Combine
flour,
  baking powder and baking soda. Stir into butter mixture; mix well.
   Stir in walnuts and raisins. Divide dough in half. Shape each half
into
  12-inch roll.  Place rolls on greased cookie sheet, allowing space in
  between for spreading. Press tops of rolls to flatten slightly.
Slightly
  beat egg white; brush over rolls.  Bake in upper third of oven at 350
  degrees for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven.
Reduce
  temperature to 325 degrees.  Using a sharp knife, cut rools diagonally
into
  1/2 inch slices.  Place slices, cut side down, on cookie sheet. Return
to
  oven and bake at 325 derees an additional 10 to 12 minutes or until
almost
  dry.  cool on wire racks.  Makes 4 dozen cookies.
    Biscotti are not meant be eaten alone, but to be dunked in coffee. If
you
  try to eat them dry, you will find them difficult to eat- but they are
  absolutely heavenly dipped in coffee! these can also be dipped in
chocolate
  for an elegant look (dip them long-way, to about half way up)
