Recipe Card of Biscotti
Biscotti are classic Italian cookies, twice-baked to achieve that delightful crunch perfect for dipping into your coffee. They make a marvelous festive gift, especially when drizzled with rich chocolate.
Ingredients list
- 1 cup white sugar
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon anise extract or 3 drops anise oil
- 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Gather all necessary ingredients for your biscotti creation.
- Fire up the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Ensure your cookie sheets are greased or lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, blend sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract until beautifully combined. Separately, mix flour and baking powder, then fold into the egg mixture to craft a sturdy dough.
- Split the dough into two equal parts, shaping each into a log fitting the cookie sheet's length. Press to a 1/2-inch thickness and place on your prepared sheets.
- Place in the preheated oven until golden, typically 25 to 30 minutes. Shift logs to wire racks, cooling slightly until manageable, say 15 minutes.
- Cut each log into roughly eighteen slices, each about half an inch thick. Return slices, cut-sides up, to the cookie sheets.
- Continue baking until both sides are lightly toasted and golden, needing 6 to 10 minutes per side.
- Enjoy these delightful biscotti on their own, or with your favorite coffee or tea for an Italian treat.
