Gluten Free Biscotti image

Biscotti are one of my favorite cookies, and this Gluten-Free version has a wonderful flavor and ideal texture. They're incredibly easy to make and the abundant nuts, dried fruit and aromatics make these biscotti a satisfying and beautiful gift for a friend or treat for yourself.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

263g gluten free all purpose flour (1 3/4 cups)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
145g sugar (2/3 cup)
3 eggs
25g light or regular olive oil, not extra virgen (2 Tbsp)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of almond extract OR 1 tsp rum/brandy/frangelico
3/4 cup shelled pistachios (90g) or other nuts; make sure you chop large or hard nuts like almonds or hazelnuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries (60g)
Optional 114g (4 oz) dark chocolate, double if you want to dip the entire batch of biscotti

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 300F and line a medium or large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a second bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, oil and extracts/liquors.
  • Using a spatula, mix the dry ingredients into the wet until they are incorporated.
  • Add the nuts and dried fruit last.
  • Scoop half the batter out of the bowl with your spatula and lay it on your baking sheet, dragging it into a line and smoothing it with wet fingertips. Repeat with the second half of the dough until you have two smooth tubes roughly 2-3 inches wide and 1 inch tall.
  • Bake for 35 minutes until the tops are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and gently set the biscotti tubes (still on the parchment) on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temp to 275F while the biscotti cool.
  • Transfer the biscotti to a cutting board and cut 1-inch pieces on the diagonal using a sharp knife (I prefer a chef's knife over serrated).
  • Lay the cut biscotti on the parchment lined baking sheet, cut side up, and bake at 275F for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the sheet from the oven, flip all the biscotti over to their other cut side, and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely on a rack before dipping them in chocolate. Do not store in plastic or they will soften.
  • Optional Chocolate Decoration
  • Melt 4 ounces of chopped dark chocolate in mug, using the microwave in 15-30 second increments and stirring in between (1-2 minutes total, depending on your microwave).
  • Arrange your cooling rack over the same parchment-lined baking sheet you used to bake the biscotti. (You can also place the biscotti directly on the parchment.)
  • Dip the one end of a biscotti in the melted chocolate, and scrape one side gently on the rim of the mug as you pull it out. Place the biscotti scraped-side-down on your cooling rack or parchment for minimal dripping.
  • If the chocolate re-hardens as you're dipping the biscotti, pop the mug back in the microwave for 15 seconds and clean up the sides of the mug with a spatula.
  • Let the chocolate cool and harden completely before gently popping the biscotti off the rack or parchment.

These biscotti were easy to make and turned out great! I used almond flour instead of the all-purpose gluten-free flour and they were still delicious.
