HOLIDAY BISCOTTI
A twice-baked Italian cookie, biscotti makes a wonderful "dunker." A pretty way to present a batch is on a seasonal plate arranged in a wagon-wheel fashion. -Libia Foglesong, San Bruno, California

HOLIDAY BISCOTTI
While the day following Thanksgiving is a major shopping day for many, in my family it represents the start of our annual cookie baking. I was looking for a cookie, preferably a biscotti to use some extra almond flour and could not find one. A little tinkering with one of my favorite basic biscotti recipes and a new holiday cookie was born. These are large biscotti, perfectly sized for dunking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare baking sheet with a light coat of cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, baking soda, salt, eggs and extracts together.
- Add in the almond flour and 2 cups of all purpose flour and mix with a large wooden spoon.
- Begin stirring in the nuts and candied fruit. Sprinkle in the remain 1/4 cup of flour. At this point you will need to put the spoon down and knead by hand. Knead 8 or 9 times until the fruit and nuts are well distributed.
- Divide the dough in half and shape into logs about 9-10 inches long. Be sure that your logs are of an even width from top to bottom. Place on baking sheet several inches apart and lightly flatten the top. (Note the width of the loaves will double in baking.).
- In a small bowl, combine egg and water and blend. Using a pastry brush apply a light egg wash to the tops of each loaf.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on rack for 8-10 minutes.
- Take loaves and slice on diagonal making wedges 1/2 inch thick. Place slices on baking sheet cut sides up and bake for 3-5 minutes. Turn the cookies over and return to the oven and bake an additional 5-8 minutes. Cookies will be dry and crisp to the touch.
- Place on rack and allow to cool completely before storing.
- Note: For holiday trays you can also make smaller biscotti by dividing the dough into 3 loaves. Reduce initial baking time to 25 minutes. Use the lower ranges in the times given for the second baking. In thirds, my loaves were about 4 inches long, longer when cut on the diagonal.
ULTIMATE HOLIDAY BISCOTTI (CHOCOLATE MINT BISCOTTI)
I cut this recipe out of the Medford Mail Tribune a couple of years ago. This is my 3rd Christmas of using this recipe and my family would go nuts if I didn't make at least four different kinds using this basic recipe. I vary the type of chocolate I use to dip one side of each Biscotti either white, milk or dark chocolate. I've substituted other flavors of extract for the vanilla also. This basic recipe is good but if you are a baker who likes to experiment with flavors THIS is the one to try that with!!. Toffee chips are a nice addition to the basic recipe, dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pecans, yummy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.
- Sift first 3 ingredients into medium bowl.
- Using food processor or electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stir in extract. Mix in flour mixture just until blended. Stir in peppermint crunch chips.
- Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. (Dough will feel very sticky). Flour hands before handling dough.
- Divide dough in half. Roll each half into 15-inch log (about 1 1/4 inches wide). Carefully transfer logs to a prepared baking sheet, spacing 3 inches apart.
- Bake logs until almost firm to touch but still pale, 25-30 minutes Cool logs on baking sheet 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer logs to cutting board. Using serrated knife and gentle sawing motion, cut logs crosswise diagnally into 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Place slices, cut side down, on prepared cookie sheet. Bake until firm and golden, about 9 minutes. Turn biscotti over and cook approximately another 9 mins or until just turning golden. Transfer biscotti to racks and cool.
- GARNISH: Melt chocolate.( I put the chips in a microwavable bowl and heat for about 1 minute constantly watching. I then stir and if chocolate needs more melting I ad another 30 secs. until chocolate is melted.) (DO NOT OVER COOK or chocolate will become dry and hard and burnt!).
- Dip 1 long side of each biscotti into melted chocolate. Place cookies on wax paper or tin foil and let stand until chocolate is firm.
