    List of Ingredients




    1 c Almonds -- blanched
    3/4 c Sugar
    1/4 lb Butter
    1/2 c Molasses -- dark
    1/4 c Ginger -- fresh; minced
    3 Egg
    3 c Flour
    1/2 T Baking powder
    1 T Cinnamon -- ground
    1 t Nutmeg -- ground
    1/2 t Cloves -- ground
    1/2 t Allspice -- ground

    Recipe



    Place almonds in a 8 to 9 inch square pan. Bake in a 350 F. oven until
    golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool, coarsely chop, and set aside.
    In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, molasses, and
    ginger until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
    In a bowl, stir flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice
    and almonds. Add to egg mixture; stir to blend. On two greased 12x15
    inch baking sheets, use well-floured hands to pat dough into 4 flat
    loaves, spacing them evenly on sheets; each loaf should be about 1/2 inch
    thick, 2 inches wide and the length of the baking sheet. Bake in a 350 F.
    oven until browned at edges and springy to touch, about 25 minutes; switch
    positions of pans halfway through baking.
    Let loaves stand on baking sheets until cool to touch, then cut into long,
    1/2-inch thick diagonal slices. On baking sheets, arrange slices close
    together with a cut side down. Return to oven and bake at 350 F. until
    cookies are brown, 15 to 18 minutes longer; switch positions of pans
    halfway through baking.
    Transfer biscotti to racks and let cool completely. Serve, or store
    airtight up to 1 month; freeze for longer storage.


    Makes 50
