Amaretto Biscotti with Almond Drizzle
- Author: chrissy@mythankfultable.com
- ½ Cup Butter
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Amaretto Liquor
- 2 Teaspoons Almond Extract
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 ¼ Cup All Purpose Flour
- Drizzle:
- 1 Cup Confectioner’s Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Almond Extract
- 1–2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- In a mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, extract, and liquor and combine.
- Add baking powder and salt to mixture.
- Slowly add flour and combine.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Divide dough into two long rolls, and place on a silicone mate or parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until slightly golden and puffed in appearance.
- Remove from cookie sheet and cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice on an angle approximately one inch thick.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325*
- Place cookies slice side down on cookie sheet and bake for an additional 20 – 25 minutes or until desired “baked-ness”. (I like my biscotti to have a little chew to it- not a lot).
- If Drizzle is desired, mix ingredients until desired consistency (I add the heavy cream slowly until it is where I want it in thickness). Drizzle on biscotti.
