I got this recipe from Christine Cushing Live. It makes a delicious biscotti, with a great texture and yummy flavors. I've also used almonds, which turned out great. Enjoy!

Time 1h30m

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/2 orange, zest of, grated
2 teaspoons espresso powder
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup toasted hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325, and grease a large parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, espresso powder and salt into a medium bowl. Add toasted hazelnuts, which I like to break into smaller pieces.
  • In another bowl, combine orange zest, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir with wooden spoon and blend well.
  • Divide dough in half and shape each into a cylinder (roughly 12 x 2-inches). Arrange cylinders on the baking sheet, leaving at least 3-inches between them.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and firm. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
  • Transfer cylinders to a cutting board and carefully slice crosswise on the diagonal, with a serrated knife, into ½-inch slices. Put slices back onto the baking sheet, laying them flat and not overlapping.
  • Bake a second time for 20 minutes, turning them over after 10 minutes.
