"This is a simple, no frills biscotti. It's quick, easy and one of my
favorite Italian cookie recipes."

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 3 eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon anise extract, or 3
drops anise oil

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or
line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, beat together the oil, eggs,
sugar and anise flavoring until well blended. Combine the flour and baking
powder, stir into the egg mixture to form a heavy dough. Divide dough into
two pieces. Form each piece into a roll as long as your cookie sheet.
Place roll onto the prepared cookie sheet, and press down to 1/2 inch
thickness. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden
brown. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on a wire rack. When The
cookies are cool enough to handle, slice each one crosswise into 1/2 inch
slices. Place the slices cut side up back onto the baking sheet. Bake for
an additional 6 to 10 minutes on each side. Slices should be lightly
toasted.
