Time 1h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
½ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon maple extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon melted butter
¼ cup maple syrup
¾ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat one egg into butter mixture until completely blended, then beat in remaining egg, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and maple extract. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture just until dough forms; fold in walnuts until just combined.
  • Divide dough in half. Shape each portion of dough into a log the length of a baking sheet, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each log into a rectangle 3 inches wide and 1-inch tall.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the bottom and slightly cracked on top, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven to cool for 15 minutes, but leave oven on.
  • Slice logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices, and lay slices on their sides on the baking sheet.
  • Bake biscotti in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crisp on the outside, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; cool for a few minutes.
  • Stir together 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1/4 cup maple syrup in a bowl. Stir confectioners' sugar into mixture gradually until smooth. Drizzle maple glaze lightly with a spoon over warm biscotti.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these biscotti just didn't taste very good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These biscotti didn't turn out well for me. I think I overbaked them, because they were too hard.

These biscotti are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of maple flavor, but these biscotti were still really good. The walnut flavor really shines through.

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover walnuts. I also like to add a little bit of cinnamon to the dough for extra flavor.

These biscotti were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of maple extract and vanilla extract, and they were still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of biscotti, but these were surprisingly delicious! The maple flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the walnuts added a nice crunch.

These biscotti came out perfectly! The balance of maple and walnut flavors was just right, and they were the perfect texture - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
