Description

These orange almond twice-baked cookies, also known as biscotti, are a delightful treat, especially during the holiday season. The combination of bright orange zest and crunchy almonds creates a wonderful flavor profile that's both comforting and festive. I love making these for Christmas morning or as a thoughtful homemade gift. They're perfect for dunking in coffee or tea, and their hard, crunchy texture makes them incredibly satisfying. Feel free to experiment with different nuts or extracts to customize the flavor to your liking. They are vegetarian and perfect as a snack.

Ingredients (9 ingredients)

2.25 cups all-purpose flour
1.25 cups white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
0.5 cups sliced almonds
1 tbsp orange zest
3 piece egg, beaten
1 tbsp vegetable oil
0.25 tsp almond extract

Preparation (6 steps)

Combine dry ingredients

Thermomix® Setting

10 sec/Speed 3

Add 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cups white sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 pinch salt, ½ cup sliced almonds, and 1 tablespoon orange zest to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 Sec./Stufe 3 to combine.

Add wet ingredients and form dough

Thermomix® Setting

30 sec/Speed 4

Add 3 beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and ¼ teaspoon almond extract to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 30 Sec./Stufe 4 until the mixture forms a ball. Use the spatula to help combine if needed.

Shape the dough

Remove the dough from the Thermomix bowl and divide it into 2 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a log approximately 8 inches long. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a baking sheet.

First bake

Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them to about 3/4-inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Slice and second bake

Cool the logs slightly, then remove them from the baking sheet. Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Place the cookies on their sides back onto the baking sheet.
