Ingredients

Several years ago my sister (Jan) and myself where playing with Biscotti recipes. We came up with a very easy and simple way to make biscotti ( a semi sweet scone like bisquit), we used about 4 cups Bisquick and about 1 cup sugar (use what fits your taste),1 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup chopped dried cranberries. Mix the ingredients well (With enough milk to make a thick dough) and put on a non stick baking sheet. Form the dough into a half moon shape and bake. Let cool, slice and drizzle with an icing made from melted chocolate or powdered sugar, vanilla and milk mixed thick ( imperial icing). We made several kinds and this is the one we liked best. I hope you try this easy way, it is good.

I found a hard biscotti recipe and you can see it below and it is the real way to make biscotti.

We didn't cook the biscotti twice, because we liked it baked once. Biscotti is baked once whole and then sliced and baked again. It comes out pretty crisp.

Directions

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 eggs

2 1/2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachio nuts

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon shortening

. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs with spoon. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nuts.

2. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 15 times until smooth. On UN greased cookie sheet, shape half of dough at a time into 10x3-inch rectangle.

3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on cookie sheet 15 minutes. Cut rectangle crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheet.

4. Bake about 15 minutes longer, turning once, until crisp and light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

5. In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds or until melted; stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over biscotti. Place on waxed paper until chocolate is set.

Wow! this looks like a cool thing to try! I made real (hard) biscotti last Christmas. Mailed to my family. They did not like them. Maybe the soft way is what I should do? I Love Hard Biscotti. (and cafe)

thank you very much. 555555555555
