Ingredients
Almond Biscotti
1 cup whole almonds 2¼ cups all purpose flour 1½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. salt ½ cup granulated sugar ¾ cup brown sugar 3 large eggs (room temperature) ½ cup olive oil 1 tsp. pure almond extract
½ tsp. pure vanilla extract 1 tsp. lemon zest
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 325° F. Place the Silicone Baking Sheet with Rim on a cold oven rack removed from oven, set aside. 2. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast in oven for about 12-15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and sugars). 4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add olive oil, extracts, and zest. Whisk lightly together. 5. When almonds are toasted, remove from oven, allow to cool for 15 minutes, place in the SuperSonic Chopper Compact and coarsely chop. 6. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; stir with wooden spoon until just incorporated. Fold in chopped almonds. 7. Divide dough into half. Place each half on a Silicone Baking Sheet with Rim. With damp fingers, shape into a log shape. 8. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown in color and firm. Let cool slightly. 9. Remove from Silicone Baking Sheet with Rim and transfer to cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice cookies at an angle about ½- ¾ inch thick. 10. Place slices (standing up) back on the Silicone Baking Sheet with Rim, and return them to the oven for about another 10 - 15 minutes (the longer they stay in the oven, the crispier they get). 7 11.
