Recipe Introduction
These easy-to-make dipping cookies have something for everyone: three kinds of nuts, two kinds of fruit and a smooth vanilla base. Add some freshly grated lemon or orange zest for a twist.
List of Ingredients
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup (heaping) pistachios, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup (heaping) macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup (heaping) cashews, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried cherriesRecipe
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, and then add the dry ingredients in two or three additions, mixing well. Stir in the pistachios, macadamia nuts, cashews, cranberries and cherries.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. With floured hands, form the dough into two 12-inch logs, about 1 inch high and 1 1/2-2 inches wide. Bake the logs for 25 minutes.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let cool about 10 to 15 minutes. Slice the logs on the diagonal into individual cookies about 1/2 inch thick. Lay them flat on the parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake them an additional 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool the biscotti completely, and then store in an airtight container.
