8-10
ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 cup dried currants or 3/4 cup dried apricot, chopped
directions
- Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer and a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg fully before adding the next. Add the vanilla, and gently stir in the flour mixture until just combined.Stir in the dried fruit and rosemary.
- Cut dough in half and shape into 2 logs (about 12 inches long and 1 inch thick).
- Bake until just starting to brown at the edges, about 35 minutes. (keep an eye as not to over do, ovens vary, i didn't go the full 35 minutes) Let cool for a few minutes on baking sheets. While logs are still warm, cut each into 1/2 inch wide slices on the diagonal, place the slices back on the baking sheet (use 2 if necessary to hold the slices). Bake for additional 7 - 8 minutes, until the biscotti are crisp. Let cool for few minutes on baking sheets. Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Wow! Just made this this morning for Christmas cookie give-aways and these are fantastic. Great flavor-unique and addictive. One suggestion to make cutting easier biscotti prettier--make sure that the apricots and rosemary are very finely chopped.<br/>Can't wait to mmake these again and again and share them with everyone I know. <br/>Thanks for such a super recipe!
