Rosemary Apricot Biscotti image

These have such a unique wonderful flavor that surprises everyone who tries them. The combination of the rosemary with the sweetness of the apricot is a great flavor. Great with coffee in the morning or makes a great dessert as well. Even more special if you can pick the rosemary right out of your garden.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup dried currants or 3/4 cup dried apricot, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer and a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg fully before adding the next. Add the vanilla, and gently stir in the flour mixture until just combined.Stir in the dried fruit and rosemary.
  • Cut dough in half and shape into 2 logs (about 12 inches long and 1 inch thick).
  • Bake until just starting to brown at the edges, about 35 minutes. (keep an eye as not to over do, ovens vary, i didn't go the full 35 minutes) Let cool for a few minutes on baking sheets. While logs are still warm, cut each into 1/2 inch wide slices on the diagonal, place the slices back on the baking sheet (use 2 if necessary to hold the slices). Bake for additional 7 - 8 minutes, until the biscotti are crisp. Let cool for few minutes on baking sheets. Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
