Ingredients.
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground ginger
- 3/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preparation.
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
Step 2.
In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. In another bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg; mix into egg mixture to form a stiff dough.
Step 3.
Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a roll the length of the cookie. Place rolls on a cookie sheet, and pat down to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
Step 4.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
Step 5.
When cool enough to touch, cut into 1/2 inch thick diagonal slices. Place sliced biscotti on cookie sheet, and bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until toasted and crispy.
