Taste of Home

"Often, I'll package some of my home-baked biscotti with a mug and a special blend of coffee to give as a gift," says Claire Brogren of Winside, New York.

SERVINGS: 24

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely ground almonds

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in lemon peel, orange peel and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Divide dough into four portions; shape each into an 8-in. x 2-in. rectangle on ungreased baking sheets. In a small bowl, lightly beat remaining egg; brush evenly over dough. Sprinkle with almonds.
    Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place, cut side down, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 4 dozen.
