These biscotti are easy, quick, and my favorite Italian cookies. My friend at work gave me this simple, no-frills recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon anise extract , or 3 drops anise oil
- 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions

1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
-
3
Beat sugar, oil, eggs, and anise extract together in a medium bowl until well-blended. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into egg mixture to form a heavy dough.
-
4
Divide dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a log the length of a cookie sheet. Place one log on each of the prepared sheets; and press dough down to 1/2-inch thickness.
-
5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer logs to wire racks; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
-
6
Slice each log crosswise into about eighteen 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices cut-sides up back on the cookie sheets.
-
7
Bake until lightly toasted and golden brown, 6 to 10 minutes per side.

Serve and enjoy!

Roasted Loin of Pork with Pan Gravy
Flavorful pork gravy made with pan drippings, oven-roasted vegetables, and stock served over juicy, tender slices of pork loin. Great to serve to guests! My mother-in-law (who can't cook) demanded I teach her how to make this.
Baked Chicken with Peaches
Rushed? Need an elegant main dish to serve for an important occasion, that doesn't take a lot of preparation or time? This is it. This dish is not only easy and quick, it serves up beautifully as well. My family loves it. Tip: For a delicious sauce to serve over the chicken and peaches, mix 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/2 cup cold water and pour mixture into cooking juices. This mixture will thicken and become a sauce to pour over the chicken and peaches.
Insalata Caprese
Because this insalata caprese (mixed salad) is so simple and fresh, top-quality tomatoes and mozzarella are important.
