Ingredients:

2 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
5 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. anise
1 tsp. vanilla
Optional 1 Tbsp. Amaretto

Directions:
Preheat over 350º

Beat eggs and sugar. Blend in oil, anise, vanilla and amaretto.

Combine flour and baking powder.

Once the the wet ingredients are whisked, gradually stir in the dry ingredients.

Grease the pan and separate your dough into five logs. If you're worried that you've done something wrong because it couldn't possibly look this unappetizing, don't fret! Wait until it bakes!

Bake for thirty minutes. After ten minutes of cooling, cut the large mound of cookie into half-inch pieces, which when laid on their sides, should look like half moons.

You're not done yet! Place the cut cookies back into the oven for eight minutes, so that they get crunchy.

If you can, make yourself some coffee and dip the biscotti in. The hot liquid will soften the texture of the cookie, giving it a spongey consistency. The sweetness of the biscotti will balance out the bitterness of the coffee, acting as the perfect sweetener!
