Single Bake Anise Biscotti

A traditional taste in half the time, and with far less sugar.

Recipe Ingredients:

1/2 cup light olive oil
3/4 cup Splenda® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
1/8 teaspoon anise extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
1 tablespoon anise seed

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan with baking spray and set aside.
2. Mix the oil, Splenda® Granulated Sweetener and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and egg white, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add anise extract. Stir until blended. Set aside.
3. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, nonfat dry milk and anise seed in a medium size mixing bowl.
4. Pour the flour mixture into the oil and egg mixture and stir until blended.
5. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a log approximately 3 1/2-inches wide by 12 inches long. Place the logs on the prepared pan 2 inches apart.
6. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Slice the loaves with a sharp knife into 48 slices, approximately 1/2-inch wide.
8. Cool and store in airtight containers. Cookies will stay fresh up to 5 days.

Makes 48 servings.

Note: Biscotti made with granulated sweetener has a slightly different texture than biscotti made with sugar.
