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.

I'm giving these biscotti a 3 out of 5 stars. They're not bad, but they're not great either.

These biscotti are terrible! They're dry, crumbly, and tasteless. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I'm not sure how I feel about these biscotti. They're kind of bland and they don't have much flavor.

I'm not a big fan of biscotti, but these are pretty good. They're not too hard and they have a nice flavor.

These biscotti are a good basic recipe, but they're not very exciting. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found these biscotti to be a bit bland. I think they could use some more flavor.

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

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my biscotti turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored desserts, but these biscotti are an exception. They're just the right amount of sweetness and the orange flavor is not overpowering.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges on hand, and now I know what to do with them!

These biscotti turned out amazing! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a perfect balance of sweetness and citrus flavor. I loved the addition of walnuts, which added a nice nutty crunch.
