Coconut Almond Biscotti Recipes

CAKE MIX COCONUT-ALMOND BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). In large bowl, mix cake mix, flour, oil and eggs with spoon until dough forms. Stir in coconut and almonds, using hands if necessary.
• On ungreased cookie sheet, shape dough into 15x4-inch rectangle, using greased hands. Bake 21 to 27 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet on cooling rack 15 minutes.
• Cut rectangle crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes longer or until edges are deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted. Drizzle chocolate over cookies, or dip one end of each cookie into chocolate. Let stand about 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Store covered.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed after each addition until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and then the coconut until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until combined. The dough will be sticky. With the mixer still on low, mix in the almonds and chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment. Divide the dough into equal halves and place on the cookie sheet. Working on the sheet, shape each half into a loaf about 10 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 3/4 inch high. Bake until the tops are browned, cracked, and crusty, and spring back slightly when gently pressed, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool about 30 minutes on the cookie sheet. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Transfer each loaf to a cutting board and with a sharp serrated bread knife, cut 1/2-inch slices crosswise on the diagonal. When slicing, hold the sides of the loaf near each cut to keep the slices neat. Put the slices cut side down on the cookie sheet and bake until the biscotti are dried and the cut surfaces are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the cookie sheet to a rack and let the biscotti cool completely. The biscotti may give slightly when pressed but will harden as they cool.

• Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece out into a log about 10 inches long. Place them on an unprepared cookie sheet and flatten them until they are about 3 inches wide.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Cool on baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.

ALMOND COCONUT FLOUR BISCOTTI {VEGAN, GRAIN-FREE}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.

• Add the oil, maple syrup, lemon zest, and vanilla to the flaxseed mixture; whisk until blended.
• Add the flax mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until completely combined. Add the almonds, if using.
• Scoop the dough onto the prepared sheet and shape into an even, rectangular log that is about 3 inches wide, 12-13 inches long and 3/4-inch high.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and set at the center. Place sheet pan on a cooling rack and let cool for at least 30 minutes (see notes for optimal cutting).
• Use parchment liner to lift log to a cutting boar. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch wide slices. Return parchment to baking sheet and arrange slices, cut side up, on sheet pan. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes; turn over and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer until cut sides are golden. Turn off oven and cool completely in oven.

COCONUT BISCOTTI

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.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCOTTI

Steps:

• For the dough:
• Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar together in large mixing bowl, scraping bowl down periodically. Add eggs, one at a time. Blend in vanilla.
• Mix in dry ingredients. Lastly, add coconut and chocolate chips.
• Divide dough between two baking sheets. Shape into two logs that are 1" high and just under 3" wide, one per baking sheet. The length will depend on the amount of dough on each baking sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking rack for 20 minutes.
• For the topping:
• Stir together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
• After 20 minutes, use two spatulas to transfer each loaf to cutting board. Slice into ¾" slices. Return slices back to parchment covered baking sheet.
• Roll each slice in cinnamon/sugar mixture and return back to baking sheets.
• Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and use a metal spatula to turn biscotti over. Return to oven, rotating the pans front to back and side to side. Bake at 350° for an additional 15 minutes, until biscotti are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and eat hot, warm or cold.

COCONUT ALMOND BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the almond meal, cornmeal, coconut flour, baking powder, whey, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, almond butter and honey until smooth, then whisk in 1 egg, the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Pour all the dry ingredients into the wet and stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated; let the batter rest for 3 minutes.
• Turn the batter out onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a log about 12 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide; bake 15 minutes. Remove the cookie log from the oven and let it cool 10 minutes, then crumble it into a large bowl. Lightly beat the remaining 3 large eggs, then stir the eggs into the crumbled cookie. Shape the batter into a log about the same size as before and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and turn oven down to 325°F.
• Cool the cookie log completely, then cut cross-wise into about 1/3 inch-thick slices. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden on each side, about 20 minutes per side, flipping once.
• Cool the cookies completely, then serve with coffee.
