This is a great recipe if you like biscotti. A little bit of effort is required from start to finish but well worth it. I give these cookies out at Christmas every year and eveyone loves them. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons coconut amaretto |
2 cups plus two tablespoons all purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup macadamia nuts |
1/2 cup shredded coconut |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy then beat in eggs and amaretto.
2. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
3. Add to the creamed mixture mixing until blended then fold in nuts and coconut.
4. Divide dough in half.
5. On greased and floured baking sheet pat out into logs about 1/2 high, 1-1/2 wide and 14 long.
6. Space at least 2 apart on bake sheet and bake in middle rack of 325 oven for 25 minutes.
7. Transfer from baking sheet to a rack and let cool for five minutes.
8. Place on a cutting board and slice diagonally on a 45 degree angle about 1/2 thick.
9. Lay slices flat on baking sheet and return to oven for 10 minutes longer turning once.
