Almond-Orange Biscotti

Ingredients

2 1/4 Cups Flour
1 1/4 Cups Sugar
1 Pinch Salt
3 Eggs -- lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon Oil
1/4 Teaspoon Almond extract
Orange Zest -- finely grated
1/2 Cup Almonds -- chopped
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Grease and flour cookie sheet.

In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture; add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into flat-bottomed cylinders (1-inch high x 2 1/2-inches wide x 8-inches long). Bake 30-35 minutes or until brown on top. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Cut into 3/4-inch slices. Return to oven with cut side down for 15 minutes or until slices are brown. Remove from oven and cool on racks.
