@imhannahcarr: One of my all time favorite cookies should be in your Christmas cookie box this year… & I think people forget about this cookie during their holiday baking. I bet you weren’t expecting this… it’s a classic; biscotti!! YUM. ⸻ Classic Italian Biscotti (refined sugar free) INGREDIENTS • 2 cups flour • ¾ cup maple sugar • 1 teaspoon baking powder • ¼ teaspoon fine salt • Zest of ½ an orange • Zest of ½ a lemon • 3 eggs • splash-1 tsp vanilla extract • ½ teaspoon almond extract • 1 cup whole almonds (raw or roasted… leave whole for classic slices) ⸻ INSTRUCTIONS 1. Prep Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Mix the Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together: flour, baking powder, and salt. Then add almonds. 3. Add the Wet Ingredients In a small bowl, whisk eggs with maple sugar, vanilla, almond extract, & both zests. Pour into dry ingredients/almonds and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. (Tip: if using hands to mix… lightly damp hands make the dough easier to work with.) 5. Shape Into Logs Divide dough into log (6”-11”ish in length). Place in on the baking sheet. 6. First Bake Bake for 26–28 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Let the log cool on the sheet for 15 minutes before slicing. 7. Slice Using a serrated knife, slice diagonally into ½–¾ inch pieces. Lay the slices on their sides. 8. Second Bake Reduce oven to 325°F. Bake slices for 10–12 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 8–10 minutes. They should be dry, crisp, and lightly golden. 9. Optional: Chocolate Bottom Temper semi sweet or dark chocolate: Heat to 120°F, cool to 88–90°F, dip bottoms, let set. ⸻ Storage: Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for 2–3 weeks easily. — #biscotti #cookies #christmascookies #holidaybaking #christmasrecipe
