Classic Cinnamon Mandelbrot (biscotti)

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment  paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil, then blend  in eggs
and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together salt, baking  powder and
flour.  Fold into wet mixture, then fold in walnuts. Turn mixture onto
a  lightly floured board and shape into a 10" by 3" log, flouring hands
if necessary to avoid sticking. Transfer log onto cookie sheet,
flatten slightly and bake until just set, 25-30 minutes.  Remove from
oven and let cool 15 minutes. Transfer log to a board.  Using a
serrated knife, cut into slices about 1/2" thick. Place  cookies back
on cookie sheet and bake again at 325 degrees to dry and  brown
slightly, about 11- minutes. Turn cookies over once during  baking to
ensure both sides bake evenly.  NOTES : A typical, not-too-sweet
mandelbrot - you can have it plain  or toss it in a cinnamon sugar
mixture for a sweeter, spicier treat.  This cookie also makes a good
basic recipe and takes well to  variations, such as adding chocolate
chips, dried cherries or  cranberries, raisins, anise seeds, etc.
