Biscotti Recipe

Homemade Biscotti

• 1/2 cup oil (I use olive oil)
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

Directions

1.    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.

2.    Beat the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla together until well blended. Combine the flour and baking powder, stir into the egg mixture to form a heavy dough. Divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece into a roll as long as your cookie sheet. Place roll onto the prepared cookie sheet, and press down to 1/2 inch thickness.

3.    Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, slice each one crosswise into 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices cut side up back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 6 to 10 minutes on each side. Slices should be lightly toasted.

4.    (Optional) Once toasted slices are cool, dip one side into melted chocolate.

I store my biscotti in a Tupperware in the freezer.
