Double Nut Biscotti
2 cup all-purpose flour, more if needed
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 cup sugar
2 extra large eggs
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup amaretto, or nocello
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup walnuts
1 cup blanched almonds, whole
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; lightly grease 2 cookie sheets with softened
butter and dust with flour, shaking off the excess. In a large bowl,
combine the flour, ground almonds, sugar, eggs, rum, liqueur, vanilla
extract, cinnamon and baking powder; beat with a heavy wooden spoon until
well blended. Stir in the walnuts and whole almonds. The dough should be
soft and a bit sticky, but it should hold its shape when picked up. If it
is too runny, add more flour. With your hands, scoop up half of the
dough; shape into a long cylinder, about the length of a roll of paper
towel. Place on the cookie sheet so that it does not touch the edge of
the pan. Repeat with the second half of the dough. Bake for 45 to 60
minutes, or until golden brown and firm. They will spread during baking.
Remove the cookie sheets from the oven to a wire rack; let stand for 15 to
20 minutes. Carefully loosen the cylinders from the cookie sheets, using
metal spatulas. Let stand on a cutting board until almost at room
temperature. With a serrated bread knife, cut each of the cylinders into
crosswise slices about 1-inch thick. Place the sliced, a cut side up, on
the cookie sheets. Return the cookie sheets to the oven for about 10 to
15 minutes to let the cookies out and turn slightly golden. Cool
completely before storing.
