Cappuccino Biscotti
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg white
- Vegetable cooking spray
Preparation
Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine coffee granules and hot water in a small bowl. Stir in vanilla and next 2 ingredients, and add to flour mixture, stirring until well-blended.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 7 or 8 times. Shape dough into a 16-inch-long roll. Place roll on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and flatten roll to 1-inch thickness.
Bake at 325° for 30 minutes. Remove the roll from the baking sheet to a wire rack, and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut the roll diagonally into 30 (1/2-inch) slices, and place, cut sides down, on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn cookies over, and bake an additional 10 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft in center but will harden as they cool). Remove cookies from the baking sheet, and let cool completely on wire rack.

This is a great recipe! It had a great taste, and is perfect for a midmorning pick-me-up or after dinner snack. I would recommend adding more walnuts to the top of the loaf to look more finished, or dipping 1/2 the biscottis in chocolate if you plan to have them for dessert. I am also thinking about baking the biscottis standing up (not on one side and then the other) so that they bake more thoroughly.01/03/08

Best biscotti ever. Coasted the tops with melted Dark chocolate and gave to my neighbors for christmas presents. The leftovers didn't last more than a couple hours.01/02/08
