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.

KEY LIME AND WHITE BISCOTTI RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Key Lime and White Biscotti Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 TB. cold butter cut into small pieces
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 c. whole milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 TB. key lime juice
1 c. chopped toasted walnuts or pistachios
1 bar white chocolate or 3 1/2 oz. white chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter and use mix until the dough resembles coarse meal. Add egg, milk, vanilla, and key lime juice and blend until the dough becomes soft, then add the walnuts and white chocolate chunks. Form dough into two or three long narrow rolls on a large cookie sheet lined with waxed paper - leave plenty of space between rolls as they'll expand in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes then cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. While the biscotti is resting, lower oven temperature to 300°. Cut biscotti on the diagonal into ½ in. thick slices and arrange on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Bake 30 minutes. Biscotti will harden as they cool. Store for up to 2 weeks in airtight container, layering biscotti between sheets of waxed paper.

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough before slicing and baking is essential for preventing the biscotti from spreading too much.
  • To achieve a crisper biscotti, bake the slices twice, with a cooling period in between.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the dough.
  • Feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits, such as lemon or orange, to create a variety of flavors.
  • Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or freeze them for up to two months.
