Recipe by Chitra Ahluwalia Pal of New York, US
This semi-homemade biscotti is worth a try. Its amazingly good with coffee and tea or even iced tea. Biscotti's are Italian cookies.
Ingredients
non vegetarian
20 servings
- 1 Pack of Brownie Mix (Chocolate Cappuccino)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of sliced almonds
- 1 ½ cup of all purpose flour
- 1 stick i.e. ½ cup of butter or margarine melted (unsalted)
- ½ cup of chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven at 350.
- In a mixing bowl add flour and brownie mix ( I used Archer Farm’s Chocolate Cappuccino flavor with chocolate chips)
- Add chocolate chips and almonds, sift it.
- Now in a separate bowl add butter and eggs and whisk.
- Then add vanilla extract to egg mixture.
- Now add wet ingredients in dry slowly and mix with hand or mixer.
- Mix it well to the extent of firm dough.
- Form it in a ball and cut in two halves.
- Now take the first half and make it as vertical stick and press it lightly to form a long thin rectangle.
- Do it for the second and place both of them on baking sheet on the parchment paper or foil.
- Now bake them for 30 minutes.
- After baking it for 30 minutes remove them from oven and let it cool for 6-8 minutes.
- Now cut them diagonally for about 1 inch.
- Place them on the baking sheet again and bake them for another 10 minutes.
- Now turn off the oven and let the biscotti’s sit there in warm oven for about 30 minutes. This will crisp the biscotti’s.
- Take them out now, and cool them for 2 hours before serving.
- Store in air tight container and serve with coffee and milk.
