Time 1h

Yield Makes about 40

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons espresso powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
3/4 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix espresso powder into vanilla extract. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat in eggs and espresso-vanilla mixture until combined. Add walnuts and cherries and beat until combined.
  • Divide dough in half and transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Form each half into a 2 1/2-inch-wide, 3/4-inch-tall log. Bake until dough is firm but gives slightly when pressed, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack, 20 minutes.
  • With a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4-inch slices on the diagonal and arrange, cut side down, on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until biscotti are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets and flipping biscotti halfway through. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
