This is an absolute excellent recipe. I have been making this for years. Love the figs and nut mixture. I use pecans. I also switch out the figs for dried cherries and orange zest. This is a great recipe for all types of dried or candied fruit and nuts, or you may omit the nuts all together.

this is a delicious recipe. it combines both figs and pistachios (you can sample fig-only biscotti at starbucks). 2 things worth noting:
(a) step 2 requires you to shape the dough into four 9X1" logs. this will produce miniature biscotti.
if you prefer a bigger biscotti size, you may wanna divide the dough into 2 logs instead, or even shape it into 1 single log.
(b) surprisingly, this recipe requires you to bake the cookies 3 times, for about 30 min. each because figs cook very slowly.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon anise extract or Sambuca
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
- 4 ounces dried figs, (about 6 large), stems removed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small pan over medium-low heat, toast fennel seeds, swirling the pan; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, extracts, and zest, and beat on medium speed until creamy and light, 2 to 3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add to butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just incorporated. Remove dough to a clean surface; divide into quarters. Form into 9-by-1-inch logs, place on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart, and bake until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, and cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees. Using a serrated knife, cut logs on the diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange biscotti on their sides on a baking sheet. Return to oven, and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Turn biscotti over, and bake for 30 minutes more.
