Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon maple flavor
3 eggs
3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark), melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheet with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, beat sugars and butter with electric mixer on medium speed about 3 minutes or until creamy. Beat in maple flavor and eggs. Stir in flour and baking powder. Stir in walnuts. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 10-inch roll. Place rolls 5 inches apart on cookie sheet; flatten to 3-inch width.
  • Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until set and edges begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes. With serrated knife, cut rolls diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Place slices cut side down on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and dry. Turn cookies over; bake 5 to 8 minutes longer or until lightly browned and dry. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir oil into melted candy coating; drizzle over biscotti. Let stand until coating is dry. Store in tightly covered container.
