I am sending you another copy (which includes the eggs!). Biscotti Biscotti are a popular Italian treat. Although traditionally anise flavored, they are quite good made with other flavorings. I have found that the almond extract and orange zest adds a quite interesting taste. These cookies pack well for traveling and make a nice lunch box treat. 1 cup sugar 4 eggs 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3 cups sifted flour 2 tsps. baking powder 2 tsps. (anise) extract (substitute vanilla) Cream sugar, eggs and oil. Slowly, add 1/2 of the flour, baking powder and extract. Add remaining half of flour, kneading until dough is medium soft. Roll into 4 small "buns." Place onto greased cookie sheets (2 buns on each), and flatten to about 1/2 inch. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and cut 1/2 inch angled slices, while still hot! Put pieces back on cookie sheet and "toast" on 1 side at 475 degrees for 3 minutes. Thanks! nicole
