TOFFEE BISCOTTI RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, almonds, and toffee bits; set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs, Amaretto, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer.
• Mix in dry ingredients with eggs, mix until combined. Dough will be sticky, but do not add more flour.
• Flour surface of parchment paper lined cookie sheet, roll dough out on surface into a log about 3 inches in diameter.
• Bake about 50 minutes, or until firm and dry.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Use a serrated knife and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
• Lay slices cut side down on cookie sheet and return to even for 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and turn slices over and bake another 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then very coarsely chop. Reduce oven heat to 325°.
• Separate yolk from 1 egg over a small bowl to catch egg white. Place yolk in another small bowl. Set egg white aside for brushing dough. Crack remaining 2 eggs into bowl with yolk. Add espresso powder and beat with a fork to combine and dissolve.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and 1 cup (200 g) sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl, then add egg yolk mixture and coffee extract; beat just to combine. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat until smooth. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed to combine. Add hazelnuts and chocolate and mix just to evenly distribute. Divide dough evenly between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Run your hands under cold water, then shape each dough mound into a 5" square about 1" thick. Beat reserved egg white with a fork until foamy and brush over loaves (you won’t need all of it). Sprinkle very generously with sugar.
• Bake loaves, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until firm in the center and starting to crisp at the edges, 30–35 minutes. (They will spread quite a bit as they bake.) Transfer baking sheets to wire racks; let loaves cool 15 minutes.
• Working one at a time, carefully transfer loaves to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice ½" thick. Arrange biscotti cut side down on baking sheets and bake, rotating baking sheets top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until dry and crisp, 30–35 minutes. Transfer baking sheets back to racks and let biscotti cool. Do ahead: Biscotti can be baked 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
