How to Make Orange Spice Apricot White Chocolate Biscotti
- heat oven to 350 degree's
whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure to chop up any lumps from the brown sugar.Whisk until very well incorporated. - add the apricots and nuts and stir really well.
add the molasses, orange juice, orange zest, eggs,and butter. - put your hands in the bowl and knead the dough. knead until all ingredients are well mixed. This will take about 5 minutes. Be patient. Just keep squeezing the dough together when kneading it. It will become smooth and moist after kneading it well.
- Flour your hands well. Take the ball of dough and place on parchment or waxed paper. Make in to a log about 4-5 inches wide by 16- 18 inches long and 1 inch in thickness.Pick up log and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.(butter the sheet pan before applying the parchment on top. this will help keep the parchment in place.)
- lay the pieces you cut on their sides on the parchment lined pan.Put back in the oven for 10 minutes. do not over brown. It depends on how hard you like your Biscotti. The longer you bake them. The harder they will be. I prefer them harder, and crunchy. Remove from oven and flip cookie over. Return to the oven.Bake again for 10 You can bake them longer for a crispier Biscotti. Also they harden up more after they cool.
