MOROCCAN FEKKA COOKIES (ANISE BISCOTTI)
This is a delightful snack cookie (much like a biscotti) that is most often enjoyed while having tea or espresso. Fekkas are baked twice, and for this recipe the anise and raisins give it a very distinct Moroccan flavor. The recipe was given to me by a graduate student who was enrolled in our doctoral program while I was working at a major research university many years ago. It is the dish that she most often brought to the potluck gatherings that we periodically hosted for our graduate students. Needless to say, the mix of nationalities represented among our student body usually promised a very eclectic mix of cuisines at our social gatherings. But these were always my favorite, and I finally thought to ask her for the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Most of the prep time is cooling/drying time.

- Beat eggs and sugar until mixture is white. Add oil, and beat until well mixed. Add the walnuts, raisins, anise, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla, mixing well while adding flour in small bits at a time.

ANISE BISCOTTI
My aunt would make anise recipes all the time for dessert and these biscotti were my favorite. I can remember walking into the house and I'd almost swoon when I smelled them baking-the aroma seemed to fill every room. -Esther Perea, Van Nuys, California
