AMARETTO BISCOTTI
Final Result after Combining Seven of my Mother's Recipes
3 C flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
10 T butter (softened)
1 1/4 C sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C pistacchi (roasted, salted, not chopped)
1/2 C white chocolate chips
1/2 C dried cranberries
3 T amaretto (or brandy)
1 T vanilla
In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. In larger bowl, mix butter for 30 seconds. Slowly add sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, amaretto. Next, slowly beat in flour, a scoop at a time. Mixture will be dense.
With spatula, add cranberries, nuts, chips. Turn it out on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 3 parts and form into 3 loaves about 10" x 3" x 1/2". Put on sheets. Put in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350. Bake 20-30 minutes until loaves are very light golden in color. (Start checking at 20-minute mark.) Let cool 45 minutes. Heat oven to 325. Cut cookies on diagonal, 1/2" wide, put each piece on its side, bake 5-7 minutes. Take out and turn on the other side. Bake 4-5 minutes.
