COCOA-CORNMEAL BISCOTTI



Cocoa-Cornmeal Biscotti image

Everything about these biscotti tends toward crunch - their signature double bake, of course, but also the addition of almonds and some cornmeal, which doesn't lose its appealing roughness under heat. (Don't think, as I mistakenly once did, that using a polenta-type cornmeal will improve these cookies - it will only make them gritty; choose a fine-grain meal.) The chocolate chips are there to reinforce the deep chocolate flavor the cookies get from being made with cocoa. I like these very crunchy, but if you prefer them less set, give them a shorter second bake. And after the first bake, when the logs have cooled for about 20 minutes, use a long serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to slice them into cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Hold on to the inevitable crumbs and any little bits that might break off - you'll be happy to have them over ice cream.

Time 2h

Yield About 46

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups (204 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (42 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup (42 grams) finely ground cornmeal
1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (200 grams) sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (87 grams) mini semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (50 grams) sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven, and heat it to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and soda together; whisk in the cornmeal.
  • Working with a mixer (using a paddle attachment, if you have one), beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each egg goes in. Beat in the vanilla extract. Turn the mixer off, and add the flour-cornmeal mixture all at once. Pulse the mixer a few times to begin incorporating the ingredients without having them fly about, and then mix on low speed until they disappear into the dough. Mix in the chips and almonds. The dough will be thick and heavy.
  • Scrape half the dough onto one long side of the baking sheet. Using your hands and a spatula, shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide - perfection is impossible, so just get close. The log will be bumpy and rough, and that's fine. Form a second log on the other side of the sheet.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the sheet after 15 minutes. The logs will have spread; they'll give when squeezed and won't be fully baked at this point. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack, and allow the logs to rest for 20 minutes. Carefully move one log to a cutting board. (If the parchment on the baking sheet is sticky, turn it over or replace it.) Using a serrated knife, trim the ends and then cut the log horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Stand the slices up on the baking sheet - you don't have to leave much room between them; repeat with the second log.
  • Bake the cookies for another 15 minutes - they'll be firmer, but not completely dry; they firm and dry as they cool. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack, and allow the cookies to come to room temperature. Kept covered and away from humidity, the cookies will hold for at least 1 week.

WHITE CHOCOLATE, ROSEMARY AND CORNMEAL BISCOTTI



White Chocolate, Rosemary and Cornmeal Biscotti image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 to 18 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup bolted yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs, at room temperature, whisked
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, rosemary, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk together the melted coconut oil and eggs in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. It will look crumbly at first, then sticky. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
  • Heavily dust your work surface with powdered sugar and turn out the dough. Knead until smooth, then shape into a 10-by-2-1/2-inch slightly flattened log and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • When cool enough to handle, place the dough log on a work surface and cut crosswise with a serrated knife into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick pieces to form individual cookies. Put the cookies back on the same baking sheet lying flat. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

CORNMEAL COCONUT BISCOTTI



Cornmeal Coconut Biscotti image

When I use a grainy flour like cornmeal I always include some fat in the biscotti, and this time I went with coconut oil, which contributes great flavor and a sweet perfume. Use fine or medium-grind cornmeal and make sure to use fine coconut flakes. I used organic sugar (not brown) for these; the sugar is off-white rather than white, and coarser than regular granulated sugar.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 3 dozen biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 10

125 grams (approximately 1 cup) whole wheat flour
30 grams (approximately 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
125 grams (approximately 3/4 cup) fine or medium-ground cornmeal
90 grams (approximately 1 cup) unsweetened fine coconut flakes
5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) baking powder
Pinch of salt
55 grams (2 ounces) coconut oil
125 grams (2/3 cup tightly packed) organic sugar
165 grams (3 large) eggs
5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Whisk together the flours, cornmeal, coconut flakes, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a whisk or electric beater, beat together the coconut oil and sugar at medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together for another minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater. Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. Mix in at low speed until combined. The batter will be moist and sticky.
  • Using a spatula or a bowl scraper, scrape out half the batter onto the baking sheet. Moisten your hands so the dough won't stick, and form a log, about 10 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Repeat with the other half of the batter. The logs can be on the same baking sheet but make sure there is at least 2 inches of space between them.
  • Place in the oven and bake 40 to 45 minutes, until lightly browned, beginning to crack on the top, and dry. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes (or longer). Place on a cutting board and cut 1/2 inch slices straight across the logs.
  • Place the cookies on baking sheets and return, one sheet at a time, to the middle rack of the oven. Bake 15 minutes and flip the biscotti over. Bake another 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

COCOA KRISPIES' BISCOTTI



Cocoa Krispies' Biscotti image

This recipe came from a printed out coupon feeder at the grocery store and I just have to try it. The print out is so small I have to enter it before actually making this recipe. *Updated 8/31/11 - Loved the flavor of this biscotti and did not find it overly sweet. The one thing I recommend is crushing the cereal a bit before stirring in to make binding the dough easier. Very easy to prepare for a biscotti recipe.

2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cocoa krispies cereal
