Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup salted macadamia nuts, chopped
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coconut cream
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
Coarse sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor; add the granulated sugar and pulse until finely ground. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the coconut-sugar mixture, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave; add to the flour mixture along with the vanilla and 1/3 cup water and mix with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Stir in the macadamia nuts and the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes; gently knead until the dough comes together.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape into two 9-by-2-inch logs; place 1 log on each baking sheet. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the logs are firm and golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Let the logs cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; slice diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until just golden and the centers still have a little give, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. (The biscotti will crisp as they cool.)
  • Whisk the confectioners' sugar, coconut cream and coconut extract until smooth. Dip the biscotti in the glaze; sprinkle with coarse sugar.

PISTACHIO BISCOTTI



Pistachio Biscotti image

Biscotti are easy to make and keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight tin. They taste even better a day or two after baking. They are perfect for dunking, in red wine, sweet wine, coffee or tea. Almonds or walnuts can replace the pistachios if desired.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield About 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup whole pistachios

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter and sugar in the work bowl of a stand mixer (or use a large bowl and hand-held electric beaters). Cream butter and sugar at high speed until pale, light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Beat in lemon zest and almond and vanilla extracts.
  • In a separate medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. At low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture. As dough is coming together, add the pistachios and mix until incorporated. You will have a soft, sticky dough.
  • Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. With floured hands, shape each piece into a log about 12 inches long. Place logs well apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Logs will spread as they bake.)
  • Bake logs for 25 to 30 minutes, until firm and lightly browned all over. Remove and cool logs on a rack until cool enough to handle. (Don't rush this step or you risk crumbling when slicing.) Using a serrated knife, carefully cut into slices, crosswise or at a diagonal. Thicker 1/2-inch slices are easier to cut; thinner slices are a bit more elegant.
  • Place slices in one layer on baking sheet and return to the oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes (less for thinner slices). Flip each slice and bake again for another 5 minutes. Let cool completely, until biscotti are crisp and dry, before transferring to a tin.

PISTACHIO, PAPAYA, AND GINGER BISCOTTI



Pistachio, Papaya, and Ginger Biscotti image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 3h

Yield Makes 65

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped (not toasted) pistachios
3/4 cup diced dried papaya or mango
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3 large eggs, plus 1 more, beaten, for brushing
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ginger, salt, pistachios, and coconut. Add dried fruits after beating the dough for about two minutes. Transfer to mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs; beat until a stiff dough comes together, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half. Form each half into a 12-inch log. (Dough may be sticky; dampen your hands for easier handling.) Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten so each log is 13 inches long, 2 1/4 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick.
  • Brush logs with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until firm and very pale golden, about 35 minutes. Let cool on pans on a wire rack, 40 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Using a serrated knife with a sawing motion, cut logs into slices slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. Arrange, cut-side up, on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until dry to touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on pans on racks, 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your biscotti. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscotti tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Biscotti Twice: Baking the biscotti twice will help to dry them out and give them a crispy texture.
  • Slice the Biscotti Carefully: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the biscotti. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the Biscotti Properly: Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Coconut pistachio biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea. With their crispy texture and flavorful combination of coconut and pistachio, these biscotti are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
