Cinnamon Almond Coconut Biscotti
They took the vending machine away at work, so I've been spending $2.50 per biscotti at the Second cup in the adjacent building. A waste of time walking there and a waste of money. So I made these this weekend in the hopes of curbing the expenses. The coconut flour gives it an extra crunch, as if it was huge granules of sugar. I used almost 1 c of sugar and find them too sweet - so have adjusted the recipe below to reduce the amount.
1/2 c butter, softened
3/4 c sugar (reduced from 1 cup)
2 eggs
3/4 t vanilla
3/4 t almond extract
2 c flour
1/2 c almond meal + coconut flour
2 t cinnamon
3/4 t powder
1/2 t salt
1 c chopped almonds, toasted
optional topping: 5 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
Beat in eggs and extracts.
Mix flours, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix in with wet ingredients.
Stir in almonds.
Cut dough into half. Shape each into 12" log. Lay on cookie sheet, and flatten to ~1/2".
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes (or until edges are brown and center is firm).
Cool (about 10-15 minutes).
Slice 1/2"-1" diagonally, placing cut side down on baking sheet.
Bake for another 5-7 minutes on one side. Flip and bake another 5-15 minutes. For extra crisp, turn off heat and let sit in oven until cooled. Otherwise cool on the counter.
Once completely cooled, put chocolate chips in a bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each go. Once melted, spread or drizzle on each biscotti.
Let cool until chocolate firms. Store in air tight container.
