Almond Biscotti

MMMMM -mmmmm and thanks to Connie Chaney for sharing this recipe with me - I just ad a little extra extract.

6 eggs
2 c sugar
1 1/2 c oil
2/3 c chopped almonds
6 tsp almond extract
5 tsp baking powder
6 c flour

I use my food processor but have also mixed by hand. Buzz almonds and then add sugar, oil and almond extract. Add to larger bowl with baking powder and flour and fold together until blended. Form 3-4 flat loaves (about 3-5 inches wide and 3/4 inches high in middle and taper ends to edge) on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 40-50 minutes until golden brown - slice into1/2-3/4 inch slices and place sideways on pan and then bake 10-20 minutes more to dry. Let biscotti cool and then dip ends in melted chocolate chips and optionally dip in slivered almonds.
