Orange Walnut Biscotti

Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Course: Cookies
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole-wheat pastry flour
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Whisk these together thoroughly.
  • In another bowl , beat together until well-combined:
  • ½ cup canola or other flavorless vegetable oil
  • 1 ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 ¼ cup sugar
  • Zest of one orange , finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup of finely chopped walnuts.

Instructions

  • Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture gradually, beating in until well combined.
  • Mix in the walnuts.
  • Dump all the dough on a flat surface, and divide in half (If you find that the dough is still soft, just add some all-purpose flour until it's moldable, but keep in mind you don't want a very stiff dough). Using well-oiled hands, roll each ball back and forth with your palms to form a log, about 11 inches long. Repeat for the remaining dough.
  • Place both logs as far apart as possible on an oiled baking sheet. Press down slightly on the logs to flatten them a little.
  • Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven until the logs are beginning to set, around 25 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet to a rack and when the logs are cool enough to handle, place one on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife and a sawing motion, cut into ½-inch slices.
  • Return the biscotti to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip over and bake the other side for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove to a rack, cool, and dunk!
