  6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  7. Divide dough into two long rolls, and place on a silicone mate or parchment lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until slightly golden and puffed in appearance.
  9. Remove from cookie sheet and cool for 10-15 minutes.
  10. Slice on an angle approximately one inch thick.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 325*
  12. 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).

 

  1. 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.
