Provided by PJ's kitchen

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h40m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¾ cups dried cherries
½ cup amaretto liqueur
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup chopped blanched almonds
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons white sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir dried cherries and amaretto liqueur together in a saucepan over medium heat until the amaretto comes to a simmer; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid for later use.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together onto a sheet of waxed paper. Beat butter with 1 cup sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat 3 eggs into butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, blending in each egg before adding the next. Stir reserved cherry liquid and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
  • Beat butter with 1 cup sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat 3 eggs into butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, blending in each egg before adding the next. Stir reserved cherry liquid and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
  • Stir flour mixture into the wet ingredients a little at a time to form a smooth dough. Gently fold cherries and almonds into dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, divide in half, and form each half into a log 12 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Gently press the logs with your fingers to flatten to a thickness of 3/4 inch. Transfer loaves to the prepared baking sheets, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle each with 1 1/2 tablespoon white sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer loaves to wire racks and cool for 20 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice each loaf on the diagonal into 16 pieces. Transfer the biscotti to baking sheets. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Bake in the oven for 8 minutes; flip biscotti and bake until crisp and lightly browned, about 8 more minutes.

  • For a sweeter biscotti, add more sugar to the dough. You can also add in other sweeteners, such as honey or maple syrup.
  • To make the biscotti more flavorful, add in spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. You can also add in citrus zest, such as lemon or orange zest.
  • If you don't have any dried cherries, you can use other dried fruits, such as cranberries, raisins, or apricots.
  • To make the biscotti ahead of time, bake them and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the biscotti for up to 2 months.
