Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup salted macadamia nuts, chopped
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coconut cream
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
Coarse sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor; add the granulated sugar and pulse until finely ground. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the coconut-sugar mixture, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave; add to the flour mixture along with the vanilla and 1/3 cup water and mix with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Stir in the macadamia nuts and the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes; gently knead until the dough comes together.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape into two 9-by-2-inch logs; place 1 log on each baking sheet. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the logs are firm and golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Let the logs cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; slice diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until just golden and the centers still have a little give, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. (The biscotti will crisp as they cool.)
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar, coconut cream and coconut extract until smooth. Dip the biscotti in the glaze; sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Time 3h

Yield Makes 65

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons anise seeds
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups (11 ounces) almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
3 large eggs, plus 1 more, beaten, for brushing
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, anise seeds, salt, and nuts. Transfer to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs; beat until a stiff dough comes together, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half. Form each half into a 12-inch log. (Dough may be sticky; dampen your hands for easier handling.) Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten so each log is 13 inches long, 2 1/4 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick.
  • Brush logs with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until firm and very pale golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool on pans on a wire rack, 40 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Using a serrated knife with a sawing motion, cut logs into slices slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. Arrange, cut-side up, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until dry to touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on pans on racks, 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your biscotti. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Biscotti dough can be tricky to work with, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Let the dough rest: After you've mixed the dough, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will help the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
  • Shape the dough properly: When you're shaping the dough into logs, make sure they're even in size and thickness. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the biscotti until they're golden brown: The biscotti should be baked until they're golden brown all the way through. This will ensure that they're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely: Before you slice and serve the biscotti, let them cool completely. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
