Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 6 eggs
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 2 cups sliced almonds
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 deg. Beat sugar, oil and eggs in large bowl with spoon. Stir in flour, salt and vanilla. Stir in almonds.
- Divide dough in half. Spread each half into 9x6-inch rectangle on ungreased cookie sheet (dough will start to spread but will become firm during baking).*
- Bake about 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cutting board.
- Cut rectangles crosswise into 3/4-inch slices. Place slices, cut side down, on cookie sheet.
- Reduce oven temperature to 200 deg. Bake 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours or until crisp and light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.
* If using 2 cookie sheets, switch placement of sheets halfway through baking; if baking 1 rectangle at a time on one cookie sheet, refrigerate other half of dough while first rectangle bakes.
Variation:
For more almond flavor, stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of almond extract with the vanilla. Toasting the almonds will also enhance the flavor. Bake sliced almonds in an ungreased shallow pan at 350 degrees about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Special Touch:
Dip half of each biscotti into melted vanilla or chocolate flavored candy coating (almond bark) and sprinkle with toasted sliced almond for a special look.
