Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-1/4 c. flour (preferably, unbleached)
1/2 c. sugar (preferably organic)
1/2 t. baking soda
pinch of salt
2 medium eggs (preferably organic)
2 T. orange peel (or 1/2 t. orange oil)
1/2 t real vanilla
1/2 t. anise seed
1 c. toasted, chopped hazelnuts

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1-1/4 c. flour, 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 t. baking soda and a pinch of salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together 2 medium eggs, 2 T. orange peel (or 1/2 t. orange oil), 1/2 t real vanilla and 1/2 t. anise seed. Stir this mixture into dry ingredients. Add 1 c. toasted, chopped hazelnuts and mix well. Divide dough in halves or thirds. Shape into logs on a well-floured surface. Transfer to a baking sheet that is lined with parchment or sprayed with Pam. Bake in a 300 deg. preheated oven for 20 minutes. Logs should be firm and very lightly browned. Cool at least 5 minutes, cut into 3/4" diagonal slices and return to oven, baking an additional 15 minutes. Cool on rack.

I've made biscotti before and they always turn out too dry. This recipe was different. The cookies were perfectly moist and flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of nuts, but I didn't mind them in these cookies. They added a nice crunch and texture.

It's so hard to find a good biscotti recipe, but this one is a keeper! The cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just the way I like them.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little bit more sugar. I found them to be a bit too tart for my taste.

I loved that this recipe calls for fresh oranges and not orange extract or zest. You can really taste the bright citrus flavor.
