Time 1h35m

Yield Makes about 9 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
4 large eggs plus 1 beaten large egg white, divided
1 1/2 cups sliced blanched almonds
1 cup candied citrus peel
2 cups mixed dried fruit, diced small
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In the bowl of a stand mixer, using paddle attachment, combine flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add butter and beat on medium-high until coarse crumbs form. With mixer on low, add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in almonds, citrus peel, and dried fruit.
  • On two parchment-lined baking sheets, shape dough into four 3-inch-wide logs. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until just set in middle, 30 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks. With a serrated knife, cut logs on the diagonal into 1/4-inch slices. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets until just golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets on racks.

These biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of fruitcake, but these biscotti were surprisingly good. The fruitcake flavor is subtle, and the biscotti are nice and crunchy.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These biscotti are amazing! They're so flavorful and addictive, I can't stop eating them. I used a mix of dried cranberries, cherries, and apricots, and they turned out perfectly. The biscotti are also really easy to make, which is a bonus.
