Coconut Macadamia Biscotti Recipes

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.

MARIETTA'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and amaretto. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Fold in nuts and white chocolate chips.
• Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Place each 1/4 of dough on cookie sheet and form into logs about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until very lightly brown. Cool and cut diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange slices on baking sheet and continue baking 8 minutes, until golden brown.

CHEWY COCONUT-MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and eggs until well blended. On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until well blended. Stir in oats, coconut and nuts.
• On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

COFFEE-MACADAMIA NUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, coffee, cocoa powder, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Combine the sugar, butter, honey, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the macadamia nuts with a wooden spoon.
• Form the dough into two 3-by-8-inch logs on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake until browned, about 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices using a serrated knife.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet; return to the oven and bake 20 more minutes, flipping the cookies halfway through. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Melt the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), stirring until smooth. Dip the biscotti partway into the melted chocolate, then roll in the coconut. Place on a baking sheet lined with fresh parchment; refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
