Categories     Cookies     Nut     Dessert

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups unsalted cashews
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in to small dice
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 Spread cashews on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 2/3 cup of the sugar. Add the diced butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the mixture to the cashews and toss. Mix in the coffee granules. Using a fork, lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture; mix with your hands until just blended. Pat into a disk. Lightly butter the baking sheet. On a lightly floured work surface, quarter the disk into 4 equal wedges. Using your hands, roll each wedge into an 8 inch log. Place the logs 2 inches apart on to the prepared baking sheet and flatten with the heel of your hand to a width of 2 inches; sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Using 2 metal spatulas, carefully transfer the logs to a rack to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Place the logs on a work surface. Using a sharp knife in a quick motion, slice each log on the diagonal 3/4 inch thick. Place the biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, just until they begin to color. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans: The flavor of your biscotti will be greatly enhanced if you use freshly roasted coffee beans. You can grind them yourself or purchase pre-ground coffee.
  • Chill the Dough: After shaping the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Slice Thinly: When you're ready to bake the biscotti, slice them very thinly. This will help them crisp up evenly.
  • Bake Twice: The biscotti are baked twice in order to make them crispy and dry. The first bake is at a higher temperature to set the shape, and the second bake is at a lower temperature to dry them out.
  • Store Properly: Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
