It is time to start making some holiday cookies for friends and family. Do you have any fun recipes to share? Try my Chocolate Almond Biscotti (Italian for Twice Baked).
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup sliced almonds
2 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1-1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup sliced almonds
2 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1-1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1C chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder and almonds in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract, and orange with a mixer. Slowly add dry ingredients until a sticky dough ball forms. Stir in chocolate chips. Place on a floured surface and divide in half and roll into 2 12-inch long logs. Place logs onto a baking sheet and brush with egg whites and slide them into the oven for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and place on cooling rack until slightly cool (around 5 minutes). Take one of the logs and cut it diagonally into 3/4 inch slices on a cutting board. Do the same for the other log. Put cookies back on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until golden. Allow cookies to cool on a rack.
These are great for holiday parties or the perfect gift for a housewarming party. Enjoy!!
Thanks Susan!
