This is a request for a recipe for a specific kind of cookie I had during a Christmas celebration. I think it's a kind of biscotti, because it was narrow and hard (but not too hard). I took it off a cookie plate, and because it was hard I dipped it in my coffee, and... wow. Just wow, was it REALLY good.
But. Biscottis cost a fortune pre-made. And I don't even know where to go looking for this one. So I'm asking the Freeper cookiemakers if they have any ideas.
It was a cinnamon/nutmeg flavor, I think. And it had a tan colored cake, with white icing on the top. And because it was so hard, I imagine it was made for dipping. And that's all I know about it.
Any info or ideas on how to re-create it would be most appreciated!
You can find cinnamon toast in the bread isle: Pepperidge Farm or Sarah Lee. :)
Anyone ever had Mock Apple Pie?? Yum!
Well here is how I would do it.
Put bread in toaster.
When it pops up spread with butter
mix cinnamon and sugar together
spinkle over top of toast
Walla! Cinnamon Toast. :-)
Wow, great question. I love biscotti. When you are ready to move on from cinnamon, try these:
2 1/4 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking pdr
3/4 t salt
6 T butter
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 T grated lemon peel
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 t aniseed
1 c dried cranberries
3/4 c unsalted pistachios
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, lemon peel, aniseed.
Mix dry ingredients and add.
Add cranbs and nuts
Roll out (as in other recipes) into logs. Bake 325/ 20-28 minutes. Cool 10”, slice, turn on sides and re-bake 9” each side (I never do the second baking).
You can dip them in melted chocolate if you want, but I don’t do that either. They are red and green, beautiful and Christmasy. And darned delicious.
Nice to meet all you cooks.
Yes, but I don't give my recipes out.
Google “biscotti.” There are bunches of recipes.
comparison?
hi you are welcome
I LOVE THIS RECIPE
TT
later bump
I have!!! Infact, I have made several (when I was a teen). Ritz crackers take the place of the apples and I remember my using ready made pie crust. Turned out delish...salty, sweet, crunchy and gooey.

I wonder if it’s possible that what you had was a scone?
They’re a lot easier to make than a biscotti.
Cheeers!
Biscotti Tuscano
Ingredients
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Ouzo (anise liqueur)
1 1/2 teaspoons Grand Mariner (orange brandy)
1+ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup roasted & slivered almonds
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Line large cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In large mixing bowl, beat sugar and soft butter until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Orange brandy, anise Liqueur and vanilla into the egg mixture.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg/sugar/butter mixture. Fold in the almonds last.
Split the dough forming two 3” wide x 12” long strips that are 1/2” thick on each sheet. Smooth dough into logs with floured fingertips.
Bake about 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Cool 10 minutes.
Leave oven temperature at 325 degrees F.
Cut cooled logs on the diagonal into 3/4-inch thick slices using a serrated knife. Place slices on edge on the cookie sheets.
Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes, until dry and slightly brown. Remove to a rack and cool.
I’m going to try this later :)
