Snickerdoodle Biscotti

It's been a year since I first attempted making biscotti at home and now I'm hooked! I've made eggnog, lavender & cardamom and even pumpkin seed cranberry.  After searching through dozens of recipes I decided on these Snickerdoodle Biscotti.

 

The Bake from Scratch recipe calls for brandy, but we're not fancy drinkers so I used Fireball instead. I also used salted butter over unsalted because that's what we keep on hand.


You can eyeball it but I like to use a kitchen scale to divide the dough so that the two rectangles are as similar in size and shake as possible. 


I use a pastry mat to pat out the dough out to the correct measurements. I love it because it's super easy to clean.


Move them to parchment lined baking sheets and then sprinkle them generously with cinnamon sugar, being sure to press it down slightly onto the surface.  Put them into the oven for the first bake. 


Once the rectangles cool slightly, move them to a cutting board and using a serrated knife cut them into 3/4" strips. Place them back on the sheets on their sides and pop them back into the oven for the second bake. 


The original recipe calls for dipping the cooled biscotti into melted white chocolate.  We're not huge fans here so I made a cinnamon powdered sugar glaze instead. They'd also be great with vanilla, caramel or even eggnog drizzle.


I always do my drizzling on a wire rack placed over a half sheet pan lined with parchment. This allows the excess to drip off and not pool at the base of the biscotti.  


These were fantastic with coffee, but they'd be excellent with tea or hot cocoa. I hope you're enjoying #ChristmasCookiesWeek so far! Be sure to swing by the other bloggers sites and check out what they're making using the links down below.

Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 stick butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cinnamon glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2t cinnamon
  • 2T milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup sugar, melted butter, and Fireball. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Divide dough in half. Using moistened hands, shape each half into a 10×4-inch rectangle, and place on prepared pans. (Dough will be sticky; shaping with wet hands will help.)
  4. In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon and remaining ¼ cup sugar. Sprinkle loaves generously with cinnamon sugar, gently pressing into dough.
  5. Bake until pale golden, 24 to 25 minutes. Using parchment as handles, carefully remove from pans, and let cool on wire racks for 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
  6. Using a serrated knife, cut loaves crosswise into about ¾-inch slices. Place slices, cut side down, on prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn slices, and bake until golden and edges are dry, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on pans.
  8. Combine glaze ingredients, adding enough liquid to make it the desired consistency. Using a fork, drizzle the glaze over the biscotti. Let set.

      I'll bet the fireball added a nice touch of cinnamon flavor to these cookies. I would love one with my cup of coffee this morning.

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

    I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

    Stuffed Waffles

    I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

    Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
