Biscotti Cookies Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F). Grease 2 baking sheets.

In a medium bowl combine flour sugar and baking powder. Cut in the vegetable shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a large bowl beat the eggs until thick and light-colored. Gradually beat the eggs into the flour mixture. Fold in the walnuts.

On a floured surface roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter cut into desired shapes and place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly colored. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
