Cappuccino Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and espresso powder together
• Beat the eggs and margarine together until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
• Form dough into two long (loaf shaped) logs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
• Cut logs into 1/2 inch slices. Turn on sides and bake again at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cookies cool completely then dip in chocolate.
• Melt the chocolate chips then stir in the shortening until well blended. Dip one flat side and one end of each biscotti in the chocolate. Let cool on wax paper.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour, sugars, espresso powder, baking soda, anise seed, salt and chocolate chunks in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together (it will be fairly dry before you knead it). Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough, squeezing it and pressing it against the surface, until you can form it into a ball, 15 to 20 times. Shape the dough into a flat log about 16 inches long and 2 inches wide. Cut the log in half crosswise. Brush the tops with a little bit of water and sprinkle the top and sides with some turbinado sugar.
• Place the logs side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Transfer the logs to a cutting board and cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 1/2-inch slices. Place the cookies cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake until golden on the other side, 8 to 10 more minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The centers will be slightly soft at first, but will crisp up as they cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
• Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time and blend well.
• Mix flour, coffee, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until dough is blended.
• Lightly oil a large square of aluminum foil. Place dough on top and use foil to roll into a log about 12 inches long. Open the foil and slip dough log onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten log to about 1 1/2 inches in height.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove and let cool 10 minutes, leaving oven on. Slice log into 12 biscotti using a serrated knife. Stand biscotti upright on the baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch space between each.
• Return to the oven and bake 12 minutes more. Remove and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Store biscotti in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and place rack in center of oven.
• Toast hazelnuts for 10 - 15 minutes or until the skins start to separate from the nut. Remove from oven and place in a clean tea towel to steam for about 5 minutes. Rub the hazelnuts in the towel to remove the skins. Let cool and then coarsely chop. Set aside.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer) beat the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, spices, and espresso powder until combined.
• Gradually add the egg mixture and beat until a dough forms, add chopped nuts and chocolate chips about halfway through.
• With floured hands divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface roll each half of dough into a log about 10 inches (25 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
• Transfer logs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart, and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until firm to the touch (logs will spread during baking, giving the characteristic biscotti shape).
• Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
• On a cutting board, with a serrated knife, cut each log crosswise, into 3/4 inch (2 cm) slices. Be careful when moving these to the cutting board to ensure the logs don't break.
• Arrange the slices on the baking sheet, cut side up, and bake 10 minutes. Turn slices over, and bake another 10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
• Remove from oven and let cool. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In bowl of a electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
• Blend until the mixture is combined well.
• In small bowl, whisk together espresso, milk, egg yolk and vanilla extract.
• Add egg mixture to flour mixture; beat until a dough is formed. Stir in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Knead it several times and halve it.
• On a large buttered and floured baking sheet with floured hands, form each piece of dough into a flat log 12 inches long by 2 inches wide.
• Arrange logs at least 3 inches apart on the sheet.
• Bake the logs in the center of oven for 35 minutes.
• Let cool on the baking sheet on a rack for about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300°.
• On a cutting board, cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 3/4 inch slices.
• Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet.
• Bake 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are pale golden.
• Transfer the biscotti to racks to cool and then store in airtight containers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• In a mixer bowl using a paddle attachment, mix all of the ingredients until a sticky dough is formed.
• Place dough onto a floured surface.
• Divide evenly into two pieces.
• Roll the dough into two 12 inch logs.
• Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet and pat the logs down flat, approximately 3 1/2 inches wide.
• Bake the logs until they spring back when pressed lightly (start checking at 10 minutes).
• Allow the logs to cool, then using a bread knife, cut into biscotti about 1/2 inch thick.
• Arrange the biscotti on the baking sheet, flat on their side.
• Bake again, at 350º F, for 8 more minutes. Let cool.
• Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
• In separate bowl, stir together coffee, milk, egg, egg white and vanilla extract.
• Add coffee mixture to flour mixture.
• Stir by hand just until dough is soft.
• Stir in hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
• With floured hands, shape into two 8" logs.
• Place logs 2" to 3" apart on baking sheet coated with cooking spray and flatten each into a rectangle about 3" wide.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and firm.
• Transfer logs to rack to cool 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 275°F.
• Place logs on cutting board, trim ends and cut each log diagonally into ½" to ¾" slices using a serrated knife.
• Place slices cut side down on baking sheet.
• Return to oven, and bake 20 minutes.
• Flip cookies over, and bake 20 minutes longer.
• Transfer to rack to cool.
• Variation: For a shiny finish, brush the tops of the dough logs before baking with a glaze made with 1 egg white beaten with 1 teaspoon water.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Set aside. Put the flour, sugars, baking powder and a good pinch of salt into a large bowl, then stir to combine.
• Whisk the oil, egg, vanilla extract and coffee together in a separate small bowl. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until you have a dry dough. Fold in 100g of the chocolate chips. Knead the dough until smooth - it will be quite dry, but if it's too difficult to knead, add another 1 tbsp water. Divide the dough in half, shaping each piece into a 25 x 8cm log, and transfer both to the prepared tray. Bake for 25-30 mins, then leave to cool on the tray for 15 mins.
• Reduce the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Slice the biscotti logs into 1-2cm-thick slices crosswise using a sharp knife, you should have about 16. Return to the tray and bake for 15-20 mins more, turning the tray around halfway through. Leave to cool slightly on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, then dip one end of the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate. Transfer to a sheet of baking parchment and leave to set. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
