Hi Sherri. This is my grandmother's recipe. Enjoy.

Biscotti
3 eggs
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tea. vanilla (or subt. another flavor that you like; like anise or lemon)
1/2 tea. salt (or less, to taste)
2 tea. baking powder (use 1 tea. baking powder per cup of flour)
2 1/2 c. flour (Approximate; don't make dough too dry; it should have an soft, oily consistency).
optional: 1/2 c. filberts (hazelnuts), almonds or pine nuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla and salt.
Using a fork, gradually stir in the flour and baking powder to make a sticky, handling dough.
Empty dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Knead in the nuts now, if using.
Roll dough out into a loaf, about 2" wide. Place it on a greased baking sheet and gently flatten it so that it's about 1" thick.
Bake until loaf is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and place the loaf on a wooden cutting board.
Using a very sharp knife, slice across the log diagonally (45 deg.) making 1/2" wide biscuits.
Return the biscuits to the baking sheet, laying them flat. Bake again for about 15 minutes or until they're lightly toasted.

Note: You can skip the second baking if you prefer to have softer, more crumbly biscuits. I like them this way.
