½ teaspoon almond extract or anise extract (optional)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped almonds
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. If you would like to add almond extract or anise extract, add it now. Mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then use your hands to shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long.
  • Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to flatten the dough logs until they are about 3/4-inch thick. Gently press the sides and ends of the logs to even them out and flatten them.
  • If desired, sprinkle the logs with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden and the center of the logs is almost firm and bounces back when touched.
  • Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the logs into biscotti shape, on the diagonal. Press straight down with the knife, rather than sawing.
  • Place the biscotti, cut side up, on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-16 more minutes, until dry. The centers of the cookies will be slightly soft and will crisp as they cool.
  • Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for 3 months.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
  • Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then use your hands to shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long.

EASY BISCOTTI



Easy Biscotti image

I found this recipe on the web about 5 years ago and can't remember where I found it. I wish I could so that they received the credit. I am a biscotti nut and this was the first recipe (and only) that I used. The results are fabulous and they are so easy to make even though they are triple-baked. I did change the ingredients just a little. Once you eat these you will never go back to store-bought again. I like them best dipped in a cup of hot tea.
