biscotti

How To Make biscotti

• Step 1
  350* oven
• Step 2
  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder. Slice very cold butter into flour mix. Using a fork mix together until evenly crumbly.
• Step 3
  Using a spoon stir in egg whites, and vanilla, and almond extracts.
• Step 4
  Fold in 1 ounce = 1/8 C of the nuts.
• Step 5
  FLOUR YOUR HANDS & the counter.
• Step 6
  Roll dough into logs 1 inch in diameter.
• Step 7
  Press 2nd ounce ( 1/8 c.) of almonds on top of logs OR pick up each log & press into almonds on one side only. You can bake them as whole logs--- I slice each log into diagonal pieces now. This way you get the crunch w/ one baking time!
• Step 8
  Place onto baking sheet. Leave space for logs or cookies to expand. Use parchment paper on top of baking sheet before placing cookies. Makes cleanup easier!
• Step 9
  Bake 20 minutes if pre sliced into small cookies 30 minutes if left as whole logs. Cool 10 minutes.
• Step 10
  If you baked them in log form - slice on the diagonal. This is quite messy.
• Step 11
  If you baked them as logs, clear off small broken pieces of nuts & return to oven for 10 additional minutes. Biscotti should be a HARD crunchy cookie, not soft.
