Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Chocolate Almond Biscotti, an Traditional Italian chocolate cookie, made with roasted almonds and honey. The perfect holiday cookie.
Ingredients
3/4 cup whole skinned almonds2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
zest from 1/2 orange
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate (good quality)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.On an unlined cookie sheet toast almonds for approximately 5 minutes in the pre-heated oven. Remove from oven, move to a small bowl and let cool.
In a medium bowl beat eggs and sugar to combine, then add flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, honey, vanilla and zest and combine with a wooden spoon, then fold in the almonds.
Move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead into a soft dough.
Divide into 2-3 parts and form into 2-3 logs (I found 3 logs to be just right). Approximately 8-10 inches long, place on prepared cookie sheet and brush with beaten egg (a small egg), bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, let sit 5 minutes and then cut each log into 1/4 inch slices on the diagonal, place cut side up on the cookie sheet and bake again for approximately 5-10 minutes or until dry. Let cool completely before dipping in melted chocolate. Enjoy!
