Pistachio-orange biscotti

36 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¾ cup Flour
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Baking powder
⅛ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Unsalted butter, room temp
1 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Orange zest, grated
1½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 Eggs
1½ cup Pistachio nuts, unsalted, shelled

Directions

Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.

Combine butter, sugar, orange zest and vanilla, beat on high until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Reduce speed to low, add pistachios. Add flour mixture, mix just until incorporated. Cover and chill one hour.

Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour a large baking sheet.

Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a log (floured hands and surface) 1½" in diameter. Arrange logs 5" apart on baking sheet.

Bake until light brown and firm, about 30 minutes. Logs will spread during baking. Remove from oven, let cool slightly on sheet. Transfer to a work surface with a spatula. Cut with a serrated knife on the diagonal into ¾" slices. Arrange cut side down on the baking sheet, and bake 15 minutes more at 350 until golden brown.
