These butterless cookies have always been a favorite of my parents; I'm putting a box in the mail tomorrow! Most recipes online call for butter, as well, but this recipe from Joy of Baking works just as well. In general, biscotti use equal cups of flour to eggs, along with baking powder, sugar, and flavoring of your choice. And they are so cute!Ingredients:
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cups toasted almonds
1 teaspoon anise extract
In one bowl, beat the eggs and extract gently. In another bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and add the almonds. I didn't use an electric mixer (maybe I should?) but instead just rolled the dough with my own hands. I had some leftover flour in the bowl and will have to figure out the right proportions with time. Shape the dough into two logs, size dependent on desired biscotti shape. Bake your logs at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, remove. Cut the biscotti into your desired size and bake the individual cookies on each side for 10 minutes each. Enjoy, and Happy Birthday, Mom!
