ISO: ISO: T&T recipe for Anise Toast

[tess]

A bakery back home in PA makes Anise Toast. It kinda looks like biscotti - it has the same shape but it's not as hard. It's hard to descibe the texture - crispy, easy to bite, very light in color, very anise-y in taste. I'm thinking the batter is more on the cakey side than cookie and maybe they don't bake again after slicing - or maybe they don't bake as long - because the cut sides are crispy but not browned. I know I can get the anise pow from anise oil instead of extract (oil is what I use for my cookies anyway).

So - anyone ever hear of these? and do you have a T&T recipe?

Thanks,

Tess
