Rosemary Biscotti Food

WHITE CHOCOLATE, ROSEMARY AND CORNMEAL BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, rosemary, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk together the melted coconut oil and eggs in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. It will look crumbly at first, then sticky. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
• Heavily dust your work surface with powdered sugar and turn out the dough. Knead until smooth, then shape into a 10-by-2-1/2-inch slightly flattened log and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• When cool enough to handle, place the dough log on a work surface and cut crosswise with a serrated knife into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick pieces to form individual cookies. Put the cookies back on the same baking sheet lying flat. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

ROSEMARY PINE-NUT BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet, place in the oven and toast for six to eight minutes. Transfer the nuts to a bowl and line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together and set aside.
• Beat the eggs lightly, just until they are blended in a mixing bowl with a whisk or in an electric mixer. Remove two tablespoons of the egg mixture to a small dish and set aside. Beat the sugar into the remaining eggs until blended. Stir in the vanilla, rosemary and lemon zest, then stir in the flour mixture to form a soft dough.
• Divide the dough in half and place one portion on a well-floured work surface. With floured hands, pat it into a six-inch square. Scatter half the pine nuts on the dough and press them into the surface. Roll the dough into a cylinder about 2 inches in diameter and 12 to 15 inches long. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Brush the tops of both cylinders with the reserved egg.
• Place the cylinders in the oven and bake about 15 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Transfer to a cutting board and cut on an angle into slices one-half-inch thick. Return the slices to the baking sheet, standing them up, and return them to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes, until they are crisp and dry. Allow them to cool completely before storing or serving.
