Anyones Moms Easy Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add Eggs.
• Mix until smooth.
• Add orange zest and almond extract.
• Continue mixing until well blended.
• Sift in flour, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in almonds.
• On floured board, divide dough in half and using your hands roll and form each half into a long roll (approx 1 1/2 diameter by 10 inches long).
• Place rolls lengthwise on a cookie sheet approx 2 inches apart.
• Bake rolls at 350 for about 20- 25 minutes.
• Take rolls out of oven and cool for 5 minutes (leaving them on the cookie sheet).
• Using a sharp knife slice across each roll diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices (I usually make the slices about 3 inches long).
• Lay the slices flat on the cookie sheet, then bake for 8 minutes.
• Turn slices over and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until slightly golden.
• Remove and cool biscottis on a rack.
• Store in an airtight container once they are cooled.

Steps:

• Sift together flour,baking powder and salt and set aside.
• Beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a smooth pale yellow color.
• Add oil and vanilla then add the flour mixture. Add the nuts.
• Spray a 12 X 16 sided jelly roll pan with vegetable spray and pour in the batter.
• Dust lightly with cinnamon.
• Bake at 300 for 35 minutes. Cool in pan and cut into 1" X 4" bars. You will have 48 cookies ( 4 dozen).
• If you want a soft version this is it but if you want a harder version then place the separated cookies directly on the oven rack and bake again for 5 - 8 minutes watch carefully.
• Also if you want to make variations dip the ends in chocolate bark and more nuts.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put the flour, sugars, baking powder and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl and stir together.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, vanilla and 3 tbsp hot water. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry until the mixture comes together into a dough. Gently knead the dough until smooth - it will be quite dry, so add another 1 tbsp water if it's too difficult to knead after a few minutes. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, shaping each into a 25 x 8cm log. Put the logs on the prepared baking tray and bake for 25-30 mins. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray for around 15 mins.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the slightly cooled logs into 1-2cm-thick slices crosswise. Return the biscotti to the lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 mins more (the oven should still be at 180C/160C fan/gas 4), turning the tray around halfway through. Leave to cool slightly on the tray, then transfer the biscotti to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. If you like, dip one end of each biscotti into some melted chocolate, then leave to set on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
