Categories     cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch salt
4 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ teaspoon anise extract (OR 2 teaspoons anise seed OR 2 teaspoons Anisette liqueur)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Position rack in the center.
  • Grease and flour (or use non-stick spray) three 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pans.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, or bowl of electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment beat the eggs on medium speed until light and frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the sugar gradually and whisk for another minute or so.
  • Add the oil and extracts. Whisk for another minute.
  • Incorporate the flour mixture. Mix until combined.
  • Pour mixture in the 3 prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm to the touch
  • Remove from loaf pans and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Transfer to cutting board.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice cookies about 1/4 inch thick (or thicker).
  • Place slices flat down on parchment lined baking sheets, and bake for about another 5-8 minutes or longer, depending on your personnel preference and your oven (the longer they stay in the oven, the crispier they get). Make sure to turn the slices over to ensure even toasting.
  • Can be stored at room temperature for a few weeks...if they last that long.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 43

4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (use 1 teaspoon if adding almond or anise extract)
½ teaspoon almond extract or anise extract (optional)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped almonds
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into 4 pieces)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries
turbinado sugar (coarse sugar, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. If you would like to add almond extract or anise extract, add it now. Mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then use your hands to shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long.
  • Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to flatten the dough logs until they are about 3/4-inch thick. Gently press the sides and ends of the logs to even them out and flatten them.
  • If desired, sprinkle the logs with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden and the center of the logs is almost firm and bounces back when touched.
  • Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the logs into biscotti shape, on the diagonal. Press straight down with the knife, rather than sawing.
  • Place the biscotti, cut side up, on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-16 more minutes, until dry. The centers of the cookies will be slightly soft and will crisp as they cool.
  • Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for 3 months.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
  • Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and then use your hands to shape each ball into a log that is about 8 inches long.

Provided by Summerlea

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 7 1/2 dozen, approx, 90 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 eggs
1 cup olive oil (pure or light)
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons anise seed
6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups almonds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F Grind the anise seed in a coffee grinder reserved for spices, or with a mortar and pestle. By hand or with a mixer lightly beat eggs, then mix in the oil, sugar and anise. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt and almonds and mix to combine. The dough will be smooth but slightly sticky to the touch.
  • Divide the dough into six pieces, lightly flour and roll each into a log 2" in diameter. Place on two greased or parchment lined baking sheets and bake until they just begin to brown and the center is cooked, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, immediately slice 1/2" thick diagonally and place back on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, flip and bake another 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
  • If you wish them to be very hard for dunking in coffee turn the oven to 250F when the biscotti finish browning and let dry to your taste.

AUTHENTIC CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI



Authentic Chocolate Biscotti image

This is a variation on the almond biscotti recipe I posted. I prefer the almond biscotti but most of my friends prefer this recipe. I have tried hazelnuts, almonds, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate chips. All of them were great. I don't even have a favourite!

Provided by Canadian_in_the_Bay

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 28 biscotti, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Adjust rack to center position and heat the oven to 350 degree. Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and white chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • In a small bowl combine the eggs, butter and vanilla and whisk to fully combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix to combine until a rough dough forms. Don't be concerned if the dough is crumbly- this is typical of biscotti dough. It will come together in the next step.
  • Dump the dough onto a work surface and knead a couple of times until the dough comes together, adding extra flour sparingly and only if necessary. Start to form the dough into a big, fat cigar and cut it in half. Form each half into a cigar about 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide and about 12 inches long. Place them onto the cookie sheet and lightly press with fingers to slightly flat cigars.
  • Bake for 25 minutes reversing the pan halfway through. The bars will be firm to the touch and just slightly browned. Remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 300 degrees. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
  • Remove cookies to a cutting board using two spatulas. Using a serrated knife, slice the bars on an angle about 1/2 inch thick to form the biscotti. Lay them back on the cookie sheet with either cut side down and place back in oven for 12 minutes. Turn each cookie to expose the other cut side and place in oven for another 12 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature. Place cookies in an airtight container.
