I find this delightful addition to any coffee or tea break. These are very good with Darjeeling. You may even dip in a Honey Vanilla Glaze. Extraordinary!

How To Make toasted sesame and fig biscotti

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325.

In a small pot, I prefer Corningware, place water, butter, and 3/4 cup of figs. Heat on medium with a lid until figs plump, but there is still liquid.

Place pot contents in blender, liquefy.
Step 4

Place all ingredients, but sesame, coarse sugar, and red or purple sugar in a mixing bowl and pour in liquefied figs. Beat for 3 minutes.

Add dried figs and blend for an additional minute.
Step 6

Take two cookie sheets, line with wax paper, and spray with non-stick spray.
Step 7

Take half the batter and spoon onto cookie sheet into a 3in x 8in rectangle. Smooth to desired shape with spoon. Repeat on second cookie sheet with other half of batter.
Step 8

Place in oven for 12 minutes.
Step 9

Remove and allow to cool for 5.
Step 10

Then cut into 1in strips or your desired size biscotti.
Step 11

Change wax paper and respray.
Step 12
