Peppermint Biscotti

Ingredients
  

  • cup granulated sugar
  • cup butter softened
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp peppermint extract
  • 2⅛ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • cup crushed candy cane

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl beat together sugar, butter and oil until light and fluffy. Next beat in eggs one at a time and the extracts.
  • In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into butter mixture to make a soft dough, before completely combined add the crushed candy cane.
  • On a floured surface pour the dough out and gently form it into a square, then divide it into four.
  • Gently shape each piece into 7 inch long logs. Place the logs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat approximately 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in a 325°F for 25 minutes until lightly golden and just slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Gently remove them from the baking sheet and place them on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife cut the logs into ½" pieces. Repeat with the remaining three logs.
  • Spread out slices upright on the baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes until golden, firm and dry.
