Green Walnut Biscotti - (Biscotti Alle Nocine)
Yield: 30
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cup flour
2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3 whl eggs
4 x egg yolks
3 tbl Nocello (walnut) liqueur
1/2 cup chopped green walnuts
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and
baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs,
yolks, and Nocello. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and
stir just until the dough comes together, about 1 minute.
Add the walnuts and mix until just incorporated.
Roll the dough into 3 logs, about 10 inches by 2 inches and
place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes until
light golden brown and remove from oven.
As soon as they are cool enough to handle, cut the logs on a
slight diagonal into pieces 1/3-inch thick and arrange, cut-side
down, on the sheets.
Reduce the heat to 275 degrees, return the pieces to the oven
and bake 20 minutes longer, until crisp and dry. Allow to cool.
This recipe yields about 30 cookies.
