Every Christmas, I make this biscotti recipe. Do you have a biscotti recipe that you love?

Cafe' Brulot Biscotti

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2.5 t espresso powder in 2 t vanilla extract. Add: 1 box French vanilla cake mix, 1 C flour, 1 T grated lemon zest, 1 T grated orange zest, 1/2 C butter (melted and cooled), 2 eggs, 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/2 t cloves.

Mix on low speed until well blended.

Transfer to greased cookie sheet. Separate dough into 2 rectangles, each 14 by 3 inches, about 3/4 inch thick. Dough should be mounded thicker in the middle.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, remove from oven (leaving oven on) and cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes. On the cookie sheet, cut each rectangle into 3/4 " diagonal slices. Carefully turn the slices on their sides. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes. Turn oven off and let remain in oven for 30 - 40 minutes. Cool completely and ice with New Orleans Icing.

New Orleans Icing

2 C sifted powdered sugar
1/4 C butter, melted
2 1/2 t brandy- or rum-flavored extract

In a small bowl, mix ingredients and add just enough milk to make icing spreadable.

OK..here is my recipe. I usually dip the baked biscotti in white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate. YUMMERS!

1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat the oven to 325. Butter 2 baking sheets. Beat sugar and butter. Add eggs 1 at a time. Add orange peel and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.


1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
2 tsp. grated orange
Add to the butter mixture--JUST until mixed.. Divide dough in half. Make a 3x 3/4” log. Bake until firm to touch. 25-35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.

Transfer to a work surface. Cut on diagonal into 1/2”thick slices. Put upside down on baking sheets. Bake for 8-12 minutes. Do the other side. Cool.
