Candy Cane Biscotti
Recipe submitted by David Gaimari
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes
Coating:
1 (14-ounce) package vanilla candy coating (almond bark)
2 drops red food color
1/4 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine butter and sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking powder; beat at low speed until well mixed. Stir in crushed candy.
Divide dough into fourths on lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands. shape each into 9x1 1/2-inch logs. Place logs 3 inches apart onto lightly greased large cookie sheet.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until tops are cracked and ends just start to turn light brown. Remove from oven; reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Cool logs 10 minutes on cookie sheet.
Carefully remove logs to cutting surface. Cut into 1/2-inch slices with sharp serrated knife. (Discard ends). Arrange pieces on same cookie sheet, cut-side down. Continue baking 12-14 minutes, turning once, or until cookies are lightly browned and crisp on both sides. Remove to cooking rack; cool completely.
Place candy coating in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 5-7 minutes, or until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in food color and peppermint flavoring.
Dip each biscotti half way into warm coating; shake off excess. Place onto waxed paper. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes. Let set at room temperature until coating is hardened.
