Surprise! No butter or oil is used in these cookies that take two trips to the oven for their distinct texture.

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon anise seed, chopped
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from 1 large orange)
1 cup coarsely chopped dried Calimyrna figs (6 ounces)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and anise. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until they're pale yellow and hold a ribbon for 1 second when whisk is lifted, about 5 minutes. Whisk in zest.
  • Fold egg mixture into flour mixture until combined. Fold in figs and walnuts. Lightly spray a parchment-lined baking sheet with cooking spray. Divide dough in half on parchment. Spray hands with cooking spray; form each piece of dough into a 2 1/2-inch-wide log. Bake until dough is firm but gives slightly when pressed, about 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let logs cool 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Cut each log on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices; place slices, cut side up, on sheet. Bake 7 minutes, flip biscotti, and bake 7 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I really enjoyed these biscotti. The walnuts added a nice crunch and the biscotti were perfectly crispy.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing and the biscotti didn't turn out as expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These biscotti were a delightful treat! The combination of figs and walnuts was perfect, and the biscotti had a great texture - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
