DOUBLE ALMOND BISCOTTI



Double Almond Biscotti image

The original recipe is from the Odense.com site. I love almond paste and thought these were quite tasty and looked like biscotti from a coffee house- not hard to make at all. Next time I might add a little almond extract and even a little lemon zest would be nice but they were gone in a short time just the way the recipe is posted. I doubled the recipe and only made 2 loaves so my biscotti were quite big.

Time 1h30m

Yield 20 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (7 ounce) box almond paste
1/2 cup very cold butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted (I only had sliced almonds and it was fine)
4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Grate almond paste and butter into a medium bowl.
  • Add sugar, flour, baking powder and salt and mix with fork until crumbly (I used my mixer) and stir in almonds.
  • Whisk together egg whites and vanilla and add to mixture (I did not combine them first) and mix until dough holds together.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured counter (dough is quite sticky) roll into 2 inch thick log (my roll was wider than 2 inches at this point).
  • Cut into 2 pieces; roll each 10 inches long and flatten to 3/4 inches.
  • Transfer to ungreased or parchment lined sheets and bake 35 minutes until golden.
  • Cool sheets on rack for 10 minutes and then slice into 3/4-inch diagonal slices (I used a serrated knife and it worked well).
  • Return to cookie sheet, cut side down and bake 12 minutes: flip and bake 12 minutes more (I would reduce oven temp next time for this step since mine browned quickly and I baked mine a few minutes longer since my biscotti were larger).
  • Cool completely on racks and store in air-tight container (I think they looked great in a clear jar on the counter).
