Recipe Introduction


These twice-baked little Italian cookies are perfect for dunking.



List of Ingredients




1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1 /2 cups all-purpose flour
1 /3 cup sliced blanched almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 /4 teaspoon salt
3 /4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 1 /2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 /4 cup fresh orange juice
1 egg, beaten
1 /4 cup chopped, blanched almonds


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour a large cookie sheet.

In medium bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sliced almonds,
baking powder and salt; mix well. Set aside.

In a large mixer bowl, combine sugar, oil and 2 eggs; beat on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add orange peel and juice. Stir in flour mixture; mix well.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and divide dough into 2 equal portions. Shape each portion into 10-inch logs. Place the logs on a prepared cookie sheet and flatten to 1-inch thickness. Brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle on finely chopped almonds.

Bake logs for 20 minutes and remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325F and cool logs on wire rack for 10 minutes.

With a sharp, serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into 20 1/2-inch pieces. Place pieces on the baking sheet. Bake at 325F for 20 to 25 minutes until dry.

Remove and cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a loosely covered
container.

Makes 40 cookies

Tip. To make 12 large biscotti, form dough into a 12-inch log, place on prepared baking sheet and flatten until 4 inches wide. After first baking, slice log diagonally into 1-inch pieces and rebake.

Variation. Stir 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips into the final dough.
