Recipe Name: Cherry Almond Biscotti Serving: Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup slivered or sliced almonds
  • ½ cup dried cherries
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and extract. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg mixture. Beat at medium-low speed until the dough forms. Stir in the almonds and cherries. Divide the dough in half and shape into logs, placing each on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until firm. Remove from the oven but leave the oven on. Slip the parchment paper onto a wire rack for the logs to cool 10 minutes. Transfer each log to a cutting board and slice on the diagonal with a serrated knife.
  4. Place the parchment paper back on each baking sheet. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets and bake 10 minutes. Turn the slices over and bake another 10 minutes until golden-brown and crunchy. Let cool on the wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
