Yield MAKES ABOUT 2 DOZEN

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon (generous) salt
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup whole almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease heavy large baking sheet. Using hand-held electric mixer, beat egg and sugar in medium bowl until very thick and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in brandy and vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into egg mixture and blend well. Mix in raisins and almonds. Spoon dough onto prepared sheet to form 10- to 11-inch strip. Using moistened fingertips, shape dough into neat 11-inch-long by 2 1/2-inch-wide log.
  • Bake until log just begins to brown and feels firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Cool cookie log on sheet 15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Transfer cookie log to work surface. Using serrated knife, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide slices. Arrange slices on same baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Turn slices over. Bake until beginning to color, about 8 minutes longer. Cool cookies completely on baking sheet (cookies will become very crisp). (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

I didn't have any raisins on hand, so I used chocolate chips instead. They were still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but I still enjoyed these biscotti. They were nice and chewy.

These biscotti were a little too dry for my taste, but they had a nice flavor. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The biscotti are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the cinnamon and raisin flavor is delicious. I like to dip them in coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon snack.

These biscotti were a hit at my holiday party! They were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the cinnamon and raisins added just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again next year.
