Categories     Cookies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 c white sugar
6 Tbsp butter
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Sift together the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the 2/3 cup sugar and butter. Beat in 1 egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into two pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 9 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Place logs on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly.
  • 2. Brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden and firm to the touch. Cool for 15 minutes. On a cutting board, slice each log crosswise at a diagonal into 1/2 inch slices, using a serrated knife. Place back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and sprinkle with a mixture of the remaining cinnamon and sugar. Return to the oven for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until toasted. Cool on wire racks, and store in an airtight container. Makes 20

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help ensure that the biscotti are light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before slicing and baking. This will help prevent the biscotti from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. If they are not baked long enough, they will be soft and chewy. If they are baked too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from melting.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugar biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They can also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cinnamon sugar biscotti a try!
