This week's TWD recipe was Lenox Almond Biscotti. I, of course, had to tweek the recipe. I do not like almond extract. I know, I know. I didn't realize how picky I was until I started this TWD adventure.
Here are the biscotti before I baked them a second time. Essentially, biscotti are twice baked cookies.I swapped out the almond extract and sliced almonds for 1/4 c caramels chopped up, 1/2 c milk choc chips and 1/4 c chopped almonds - basically, anything "left over" in my baking draw in small quantities that needed to be used up.
I had one with a cup of hot tea during a knitting break. It made for an indulgent and peaceful afternoon. Hubby finished the rest of them in 2 days with milk - he just thinks they are funny looking cookies.I made one other change to the recipe - I baked these in 1 log instead of the 2 it calls for. I had to increase baking time by 10 mins each round but they turned our with much Deliciousness.
Love you,

Wow - caramel?! I've gotta try that.
ReplyDeleteThe caramel sounds great in there!
ReplyDeleteOoh, caramel -- or toffee -- what a great idea! Glad you and your hubby enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteWow caramel sounds like a great addition! This was my first time making biscotti so I didn't experiment. But I loved the recipe and will definitely make it again :)
ReplyDeleteThey sound fabulous with all of your mix-ins. Nice work!
