- Put the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, anise seeds, and the chopped zest in the bowl of an electric mixer and combine with the paddle attachment.
- In a separate bowl with a whisk, lightly beat together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Continuing to mix, pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.

- Cut the biscotti logs at a slight diagonal, ¾ inch thick.
- Return the cookies to the baking sheet, with a cut side up.
- Bake the biscotti for 15 minutes, until golden brown and dry.
