1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 orange, zest of, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon orange oil or 1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup heavy cream or 1/4 cup evaporated milk
4 cups all-purpose flour
egg yolks or egg, to glaze
nutmeg or granulated sugar, for dusting
4 ounces white chocolate, melted, for coating biscotti
coarsely chopped graham cookie crumbs (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F Blend the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, orange extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace in a food processor together until combined, about 30 seconds.
Add in remaining ingredients and process a 1-2 minutes to get a thick batter.
Let batter stand 2 minutes and then spoon out onto the baking sheet.
Brush with egg yolk, or a beaten egg. Sprinkle on sugar and a dusting of more nutmeg.
Bake 45 minutes until set and browned. Cool, then slice into diagonal cookies about 1/2 inch wide.
Reduce oven temperature to 325*F, put sliced cookies back in oven and bake until crisped, about 15 minutes per side.
Cool well and then glaze one side of each cookie with melted white chocolate.
Garnish with crushed graham cookies crumbs on one edge. Serve to your most deserving guests!
