Jelly Bean Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a medium bowl add the butter and sugar and cream them together on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
• Add 1 egg and beat to incorporate, add 2nd egg and incorporate then add 3rd egg and incorporate (4th egg is used later).
• Beat in the vanilla then add the baking powder, salt and flour, beating on low speed until fully incorporated - you do not want to mix too long.
• Notice that the dough is very soft and sticky.
• Stir in the jelly beans.
• Using a spatula, scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface.
• Put flour on your hands and sprinkle flour on top of the dough.
• Then cut the dough in half. Next take one half and roll lightly back and forth making a thick rope - pick it up and place it on a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.
• Don't be worried if the dough is so soft it bends when you pick it up. Once you place it on the parchment paper you can shape it a little more.
• Do the same with the second half.
• Flatten them out on top a little with your palm.
• Next beat one egg in a bowl and using a brush - brush them all over to coat them evenly.
• Then place in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until they are slightly golden brown.
• When done remove them from the oven.
• Let them cool for about 10-20 minutes or until they are cool enough for you to handle.
• Place them on a breadboard and slice them crosswise on the diagonal into about 3/4 inch slices.
• Put them back on the cookie sheet and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the edges are turning slightly brown.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to wire rack to cool (dust with powdered sugar if desired) -- ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, cheeses, baking powder, salt, chili powder, and garlic powder (if using).
• In another container, combine the milk, oil, and eggs, and whisk to combine well.
• By hand (recommended) or with an electric mixer with paddle attachment (on low speed), gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until well blended and the dough is dry and crumbly (do not overmix!).
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured board and knead 8 times, then divide the dough in half.
• Form each half into an 8-inch long roll and place them at least 6 inches apart on the sprayed baking sheet.
• Carefully flatten each roll to a 1-inch thickness.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, then remove from oven; let the rolls cool on a wire rack.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Slice the rolls into 2/3-inch (approx) slices, diagonally; should make about 12 slices per roll.
• Place the biscotti slices back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake at 325 degrees F for another 10 minutes; turn biscotti over and bake an additional 10 minutes."
• Remove the biscotti from the sheet and allow to cool on a wire rack.
• Store in an airtight container.
