How To Make Almond Biscotti Cookies

You will need
½ cups (120ml) vegetable oil 3 large eggs 3 ¼ cups (810ml) all-purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder ½ cups (120ml) almonds , sliced 1 cups (250ml) sugar 1 tbsp almond extract Large Mixing Bowl Mixer Parchment Paper Cookie Sheet

1. Step 1: Pre-Heat

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 C, Gas Mark 5)

2. Step 2: Mix

   In a large bowl, combine oil, eggs, sugar, and almond extract, then mix in flour and baking powder. When the batter is well mixed, fold in the almonds.

3. Step 3: Roll

   Divide your dough into two equal pieces, and roll each one into a snake until it's the length of your cookie sheet.

4. Step 4: Bake Once

   Put your dough snakes onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and press it down to about a 1/2 inch thickness. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Remove the biscotti rolls from your baking sheet and put them on a rack to cool.

5. Step 5: Bake Twice

   When your biscotti snakes are cool enough to handle, slice them into 1/2 inch slices, like you're slicing bread. Put the slices back onto the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes on each side, until both sides of the biscotti are lightly toasted. This recipe makes 3-4 dozen biscotti.
