Classic Biscotti Recipe: Twice-Baked Italian Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 tablespoon anise extract, or 3 drops anise oil
• 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

1. Prepare all your ingredients for baking.
2. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a couple of cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. In a bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract until everything is nicely combined. In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, then add it to the egg mixture to create a thick dough.
4. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log, matching the length of your cookie sheet. Put each log onto the prepared sheets and flatten them to about 1/2-inch thick.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the logs turn a golden brown color, about 25 to 30 minutes. Move the logs to wire racks and let them cool until they're easy to handle, approximately 15 minutes.
6. Cut each log into slices that are about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the slices on the cookie sheets with the cut sides facing up.
7. Bake again until they're lightly toasted and a golden brown, around 6 to 10 minutes on each side.
8. Enjoy your homemade biscotti with a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage!
