Alright, I'll admit it, I have a thing for biscotti and a special thing for coffee biscotti. These make very nice gifts at Holiday time packaged in or with a latte mug :D

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons espresso powder, fine ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar or splenda (or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make espresso biscotti

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Step 2
    In a bowl with an electric mixer, mix together the all-purpose flour, ground espresso powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt and orange zest.
  • Step 3
    In another bowl, beat together the eggs and vanilla. Add all at once to the dry ingredients and beat until a dough is formed. Stir in the toasted chopped almonds.
  • Step 4
    Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead it into a ball. Halve it and form each half into a log 12 inches by 2 inches.
  • Step 5
    Arrange the logs on a buttered and floured baking sheet approximately 3 inches apart.
  • Step 6
    Bake the logs in the middle of oven for 35 minutes or until they are lightly browned and firm all over. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Step 7
    On a cutting board, cut the logs diagonally into slices one inch thick. Position the slices on baking sheet and return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes on each side or until baked to your liking.
