Biscotti


I sure do love a good cup of coffee with biscotti. I found this very simple recipe and it is very good. You can even add chocolate chips if you wish. Enjoy! :)






Biscotti

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 tbls baking powder
1 tbls vanilla extract (you can use any flavor extract, almond, orange etc)
chocolate chips (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla flavoring until well blended. Combine 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 to 30 minutes in preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire rack. When they 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 in each side. Slices should be lightly toasted. Makes 3-4 dozen (they will keep for over a month in an airtight container)

I made a pumpkin pie yesterday, and it sure went good with afternoon coffee. Biscotti is an Italian treat (and, I'll admit, the only way I can eat it is to dunk it in the coffee.)

I baked this recipe last night and it ended up not being that good! I thought it was the recipe I cooked before but maybe it is not. I could have done something wrong. Oh, well! I will keep hunting for the perfect biscotti recipe and then post it! :)
