What follows is Grandma DelCarlo's recipe for Biscotti:
 1 cube soft butter
 8 T shortening
 1.5 c sugar
 Blend until smooth and creamy.
 4 eggs (add to cream, one at a time)
 1.5 t vanilla
 1.5 t anise extract
 Mix in
 4 c flour with 1.5 t of baking powder and 1 t salt
 1 cup coarsely chopped almonds
 Form dough into 2 flat loaves on greased baking sheet (you maybe able
 to make 3 flat loaves -- dimensions 3 inches wide x 12 inches long by
 0.5-0.75 inches thick).
 Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.  The bottom should begin to
 brown and the dough should be firm.
 Remove from oven and cut each loaf into diagonal strips (may 15-20 per
 loaf); return to pan placing each cookie on its side.
 Bake 5-10 minutes.  You want to toast the cut edges.  Toast both sides
 for crispy cookies and one side for softer ones.
