Cocoa Cornmeal Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Whisk together the flours, cornmeal, coconut flakes, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a whisk or electric beater, beat together the coconut oil and sugar at medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together for another minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater. Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix in at low speed until combined. The batter will be moist and sticky.
• Using a spatula or a bowl scraper, scrape out half the batter onto the baking sheet. Moisten your hands so the dough won't stick, and form a log, about 10 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Repeat with the other half of the batter. The logs can be on the same baking sheet but make sure there is at least 2 inches of space between them.
• Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until lightly browned, beginning to crack on the top, and dry. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes (or longer). Place on a cutting board and cut 1/2 inch slices straight across the logs.
• Place the cookies on baking sheets and return, one sheet at a time, to the middle rack of the oven. Bake 15 minutes and flip the biscotti over. Bake another 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar in another large bowl until pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the orange and lemon zests to the dry ingredients. Add the flour mixture to the eggs and sugar and beat just until blended (the dough will be soft and sticky). Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Using a rubber spatula, transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, forming two mounds spaced evenly apart. Moisten your hands with water and shape the dough into two 11 by 4-inch logs. Bake until lightly brown, about 35 minutes. Cool the logs for 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. Arrange the biscotti cut side down on the same baking sheet. Bake until the biscotti are pale and golden, about 25 minutes. Cool the biscotti on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Using a metal spatula, transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
• Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Dip 1 cut side of each biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti, chocolate side up, on the baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes. Dip a pastry brush in the cocoa, then lightly brush the cocoa over the chocolate on each biscotti.
• The biscotti can be made ahead. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven, and heat it to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Sift the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and soda together; whisk in the cornmeal.
• Working with a mixer (using a paddle attachment, if you have one), beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each egg goes in. Beat in the vanilla extract. Turn the mixer off, and add the flour-cornmeal mixture all at once. Pulse the mixer a few times to begin incorporating the ingredients without having them fly about, and then mix on low speed until they disappear into the dough. Mix in the chips and almonds. The dough will be thick and heavy.
• Scrape half the dough onto one long side of the baking sheet. Using your hands and a spatula, shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide - perfection is impossible, so just get close. The log will be bumpy and rough, and that's fine. Form a second log on the other side of the sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the sheet after 15 minutes. The logs will have spread; they'll give when squeezed and won't be fully baked at this point. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack, and allow the logs to rest for 20 minutes. Carefully move one log to a cutting board. (If the parchment on the baking sheet is sticky, turn it over or replace it.) Using a serrated knife, trim the ends and then cut the log horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Stand the slices up on the baking sheet - you don't have to leave much room between them; repeat with the second log.
• Bake the cookies for another 15 minutes - they'll be firmer, but not completely dry; they firm and dry as they cool. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack, and allow the cookies to come to room temperature. Kept covered and away from humidity, the cookies will hold for at least 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, rosemary, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk together the melted coconut oil and eggs in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. It will look crumbly at first, then sticky. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
• Heavily dust your work surface with powdered sugar and turn out the dough. Knead until smooth, then shape into a 10-by-2-1/2-inch slightly flattened log and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• When cool enough to handle, place the dough log on a work surface and cut crosswise with a serrated knife into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick pieces to form individual cookies. Put the cookies back on the same baking sheet lying flat. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine vanilla extract and espresso powder in a small bowl; mix until espresso powder is dissolved.
• Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; mix in chocolate chips.
• Whisk vanilla mixture, sugar, eggs, and oil together in a large bowl. Add flour mixture; stir, by hand if needed, until dough comes together and is thick and stiff.
• Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and place onto the baking sheets. Shape each piece into a log as long as the baking sheet; press down with wet hands to about 1/2 inch thickness.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
• Move cooled logs to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch long slices with a serrated knife. Return the slices to the baking sheets, placing them on their sides.
• Bake until dry, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from oven and let cool until hardened on wire racks.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a nonstick liner.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar and butter. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the motor running, add the 2 whole eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the pistachios, cranberries, and orange zest, and mix on low speed until blended. Add the cornmeal and mix again to blend. Add the reserved flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the dough comes together in a ball, about 20 seconds.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a log about 12 inches long. Transfer to the baking sheet and press to flatten the log to a 1-inch thickness. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Bake until the log is just firm to the touch, about 50 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes, then use a serrated knife to slice the log diagonally at 3/4-inch intervals. (The slices may look a little underdone at the center, which is okay.)
• Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip the biscotti over, return to the oven, and bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes longer. They will still be somewhat soft but will harden as they cool.
• Cool on a rack. Stored in an airtight container, these biscotti will keep for at least a week.
