Yield makes: 35 to 50

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, plus 1 white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup whole blanched almonds, toasted (see page 17)
3/4 cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar and mix, scraping down the sides as needed, until light and fluffy. Beat in the 2 whole eggs one at a time, stirring to combine thoroughly after each addition. Add the vanilla.
  • Gently mix in the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Stir until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Fold in the almonds and cherries.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into two logs, about the length of the baking sheet, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the logs with the egg wash, sprinkle them with the turbinado sugar, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the logs from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and use a serrated knife to cut them into 1/2-inch slices-on the bias-while they are still warm (slicing them while warm will prevent crumbling). Keep the ends to nibble on while the other biscotti are baking.
  • Lay the biscotti back on the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes to toast and harden.
  • Let the biscotti cool and store in an airtight container.

I'm not a fan of almonds, so I omitted them from the recipe. The biscotti still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of dried cherries, so I substituted cranberries instead. They turned out great!
