Biscotti |
Was craving cookies this evening and decided to make my
homemade biscotti again. Didn't want to do the old standby of chocolate and
orange so thought how good it would be to make traditional biscotti, one with
almonds. What would go good with almonds other than coffee? So, I decided to
create my own Coffee Almond Biscotti. This recipe makes about 15 individual
biscotti. I used the same recipe as the one for my chocolate orange but instead
of adding the chocolate chips and the orange zest I used sliced almonds and
instant coffee. Add a little dash of brewed coffee and viola; you have delicious
moist coffee almond flavored cookies that you will definitely gobble up. Coffee Almond Biscotti.
Ingredients:
- Biscotti recipe below
- 2 tbs instant coffee crystals
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1 tbs brewed coffee
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- Powdered sugar
- Milk
Follow the recipe for the biscotti cookies listed
above. In the recipe above you will take the 2 tbs of instant coffee and mix it
into the butter sugar mixture prior to adding the dry
ingredients. Next pour in the brewed coffee. After adding
the dry ingredients stir in the sliced almonds. Mold into a log and bake
according to above recipe.
In a small bowl mix powdered sugar and milk until you
have the nice icing consistency you want. Mix in the little bit of almond
extract for that extra almond flavoring. Once cookies have been baked and
cooled. Dip one end into the icing and let dry. Simple and delicious.
Hope you enjoy.
