Oatmeal Raisin Almond Biscotti Recipes

Steps:

• This is a very important first step that makes the cookie: combine eggs, raisins and vanilla and let stand for one hour.
• Cream together butter and sugars.
• Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda and mix well.
• Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, and chopped nuts.
• Dough will be stiff.
• Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet, or roll into balls and flatten slightly.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat eggs, adding sugar gradually, at medium speed until smooth and light, 1-2 minutes. Stir in flour mixture and raisins.
• Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking sheet and, with well floured hands, form into rectangular logs about 1/2 inch high. Sprinkle a few oats on top for decoration. Length and width are your perogative. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
• Slice logs into 1/3-1/2 inch thick slices (1-1.5 cm) and lay flat on baking sheet.
• Lower oven temperature to 300°F Bake sliced cookies for 15 minutes, flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes. If cookies are not firm, depending on how thickly they were sliced, turn again and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Stir together sugar, butter, brandy, and extracts in a large bowl, then stir in almonds and eggs. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
• Chill dough, covered, 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Using moistened hands, halve dough and form 2 (16-by 2-inch) loaves on an ungreased large baking sheet.
• Bake until pale golden, about 30 minutes. Carefully transfer loaves to a rack and cool 15 minutes.
• Cut loaves into 3/4-inch slices with a serrated knife.
• Arrange biscotti, with a cut side down, on a clean baking sheet and bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to rack to cool completely.
