Mochaccino Biscotti Dunkers Recipes

Steps:

• PREPARATION.
• Whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, beat eggs into flour mixture, one at a time, on low spead until well mixed, scraping down the bowl once or twice.
• Beat in espresso and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chips (dough should be very thick).
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill until the dough is firm enough to be shaped (at least 30 minutes or overnight).
• FIRST BAKING.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper (optional) or cooking spray.
• Stir together the toppings (sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa) in a small bowl and set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, shape the chilled dough into squished logs that are bout 1 1/2 inch wide, 12 inches long, and 1/2 inch thick.
• Place the logs onto the prepared cookie sheets and dust with the topping.
• Bake until they are dry to the touch and light golden brown around the edges, about 25 minutes. Then let them cool off for at least 2 minutes on a rack.
• SECOND BAKING.
• Gently remove each log from the pan and put them on a cutting board. Slice the biscotti diagonally very thinly (about 1/4 inch thick). If the biscotti crumbles too much when you do this, but it back in the over for a few minutes so it will harden up. Also, try to slice them with one swift motion instead of a sawing action, so that the chocolate doesn't get smeared all over the place (presentation is key).
• Place the slices back onto the cookie sheet cut side down and back them for another 6 minutes.
• Remove them from the oven and flip the biscotti over (I find that flipping them individually by hand tends to be quickest and easiest).
• Bake them for 6 more minutes or until dry, and then place the biscotti onto the racks to cool.

Steps:

• To a blender, add 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of coffee, 1/4 cup of syrup, and the cinnamon. Puree to combine ingredients. Add 1 pint ice cream and blend until smooth. Pour into 2 frosted fountain glasses or tall glasses and garnish with swirls of whipped cream, an extra pinch of cinnamon, and some chocolate savings and serve. Repeat to make 2 more shakes.

Steps:

• Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or light grease the cookie sheets; set aside.
• In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
• Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally.
• Beat in eggs, lemon peel, and vanilla until combined.
• Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour and the pistachio nuts.
• On alightly floured surface, divide dough into 3 portions.
• Shape each portion into an 8-inch-long loaf.
• Place loaves at least 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
• Flatten loaves to about 2-1/2 inches wide.
• Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and tops are cracked.
• (Loaves will spread slightly.).
• Let stand on cookie sheets on wire racks for 30 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degree F.
• Transfer loaves to a cutting board.
• Cut each loaf diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Place slices, cut sides down, on the same parchment-lined or greased cookie sheets.
• Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 8 minutes.
• Turn slices over and bake 8 to 10 minutes more or until dry and crisp.
• Transfer to wire reacks; cool.
• For icing, stir together powdered sugar and enough lemon juice or milk (1 to 2 tablespoons) to make icing of drizzling consistency.
• Drizzle over biscotti.
• Let stand until frosting is set.
• Makes about 36 cookies.
• Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare Lemon-Nut Biscotti as directed through Step 3, except do not drizzle with icing.
