These spicy Italian cookies are the perfect accompaniment for cocoa or coffee during the holiday season! Serve with lemon curd or drizzle with lemon flavored almond bark for a special treat. Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup white sugar |
3 eggs |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger |
3/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 tablespoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
2. In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.
3. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie. Place rolls on cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
5. When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.
