ALMOND AND RAISIN BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar and beat, with a whisk or hand mixer, until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides periodically. Add the orange zest and beat in the
• whole eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla.
• Gently mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Once the flour is incorporated, fold in the almonds, raisins and anise.
• Divide the dough into two pieces. If the dough is sticky, dust your hands with a little flour. Roll the dough into two logs the length of a sheet tray and place on the tray. Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the logs with the egg white and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until dark golden brown, slightly crisp around the edges and still a bit soft in the middle, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven to a cutting board and slice on the bias with a serrated knife while they are still warm. Slicing while warm will prevent crumbling.
• Lay the biscotti back on the sheet tray(s), cut-sides down, and return to the oven until a little more golden around the edges, another 10 minutes. This will harden the biscotti but not make them like rocks.
• Remove from the oven to a serving platter and serve with coffee or Vin Santo for dipping.
• Biscolicious!

OATMEAL CRAISIN® BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper. I used a 15 X 21 inch baking sheet. If your baking sheet is smaller, use 2 baking sheets.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set this mixture aside.
• In the bowl of stand mixer using the flat beater, combine the oil, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until combined. Add the prepared flour mixture. Beat until the flour just disappears. Add the oats and beat until just combined and a sticky dough forms. Add the dried cranberries.
• Moisten your hands with water and form the dough into two logs on the prepared baking sheet. The logs should be about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Leave at least 3 inches between the logs of dough. The biscotti will spread when they bake. Combine 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 cup of sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the tops of the logs.
• Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the baking pan and allow the biscotti logs to cool for 30 minutes on a cooling rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 F.
• Carefully transfer each biscotti log to a cutting surface and slice on a slight diagonal into pieces 1/2 inch wide. Place the pieces of biscotti cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscotti to rest until completely cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
