Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃). Butter and flour large baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 of the eggs, the sugar, vanilla, anise and almond extracts at high speed for about 10 minutes, until the mixture forms a smooth ribbon when the beaters are lifted.
On a large piece of wax paper, sift flour, baking powder and salt.
With mixer on low speed, stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Stir in the nuts 5. Divide dough into 3 parts and shape each part into a log 9 by 2⅓ inches. Put logs on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Beat remaining egg and brush over logs. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden.
Remove baking sheet from oven. Cool 10 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 275℉ (140℃). Slide logs ontoa cutting board & cut int ¼ inch slices using a sharp knife and pressing firmly to cut all the way through. Arrange slices cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Hazelnuts should be roasted, skinned and coarsely chopped.
