Categories     Bake     Orange

Yield makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange juice
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup chopped almonds or nuts of your choice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together at high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes, or until foamy. Add the orange zest, oil, vanilla, orange juice, and almond extract, beating until blended. Sift the flour and baking powder together and add to the sugar mixture, beating well. Fold in the almonds by hand. Cover the dough in the mixing bowl and place in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator 2 hours until firm.
  • Divide the dough in half. Shape each portion into a 5 × 8-inch log on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until firm. Cool the dough logs on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Return the biscotti to the greased baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake for 15 more minutes. Cool on wire racks.

These biscotti were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of orange, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The orange flavor is subtle, and the nuts add a nice crunch.

These biscotti turned out amazing! The orange and nut flavors were the perfect combination, and the biscotti were just the right amount of crunchy. I will definitely be making these again.
