Classic Italian Biscotti
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon anise extract, or 3 drops anise oil
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary ingredients required for this recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius). To prevent the cookies from sticking, lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
3
Combine sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract in a medium-sized bowl using a mixing motion until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4
In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder together, then incorporate this mixture into the egg-based mixture to create a dense dough.
5
Split the dough evenly in half. Shape each portion into a cylindrical log, with the length matching that of your baking sheets.
6
Place one log on each prepared sheet and gently press it down to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
7
Bake the logs in your preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
8
Transfer the logs to wire racks and allow them to cool for around 15 minutes, until they are no longer too hot to handle.
9
Using a sharp knife, cut each log into approximately eighteen 1/2-inch thick slices.
10
Place the sliced cookies back on their respective cookie sheets with the cut sides facing upwards.
11
Bake these slices for 6 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly toasted and golden brown.
12
Finally, serve these delicious cookies to your guests and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
