Authentic biscotti are a traditional Italian pastry. They’re baked twice to yield a dry and crispy cookie, and they’re the perfect treat to dunk in a cup of coffee or tea. Since biscotti are made with less butter and sugar than most cookies, they’re considered a healthy cookie. Mandel-bread is the Jewish take on biscotti — with a little added oil.
4 tablespoons cold butter or margarine, cut in pieces
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Extract
2 cups Mishpacha Flour
1 teaspoon Haddar Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.
Using a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Divide dough in half. With slightly wet hands, form into two logs approximately one and a half inches (four centimeters) wide and eight inches (20 centimeters) long. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for at least 20 minutes, then cut into slices on the diagonal, approximately 1/4 inch (1/2 centimeter) wide. Lay cookies on their sides and bake again for 10 minutes.
Yields approximately 30 cookies
