Almond Biscotti (Cantucci) Italy's Classic Dunking Cookie (e30)
Buon giorno a tutti! In this 30th episode, Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandma), solves her craving for something sweet, with her almond biscotti. These crunchy treats get their crispiness from being twice-baked, in fact, biscotti simply translated is 'bis' - twice and 'cotti' = baked. However, in Italy, this cookie is referred to as Cantucci (Toscani), as opposed to the term biscotti, which generally means cookies - in plural.
The Recipe:
The fun thing with biscotti, is that there are loads of different ingredients you can add to suit your preferences. Some people dip them in chocolate or add chocolate into the dough itself. Others add dried fruit or vary the type of nuts. Anise is another commonly used and delicious flavour. Your options are endless, so feel free to be creative. This version is a classic almond biscotti.
First, Nonna roasts up 2 cups of almonds at about 325 for approximately 12-15 min. She then chops up half and leaves the rest whole. Nonna uses almonds with the skin on, though some prefer blanched almonds - both are great, use whatever you prefer.
In a bowl, Nonna mixes up the dry ingredients:
- 4 cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
She used a whisk to blend it together and then sets it aside.
Wet Ingredients:
Then in another bowl, Nonna adds
- 3/4 cup of olive oil
- 1.5 cups of sugar
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 4 T Amaretto Liqueur
- 1 T vanilla extract
Nonna creams the oil and sugar first and adds in the eggs, one at a time. Of course, you can use a mixer, but Nonna prefers the exercise of doing it by hand. She then adds in the Amaretto and vanilla.
Slowly she incorporates the flour mixture, adding last the roasted almonds.
She portions the dough into 4 and with a floured surface and some flour sprinkled on top, she fashions each portion into a log, placing two on each parchment covered cookie sheet.
She then bakes the logs for 25 minutes at 350. Once cooled about 15 minutes, Nonna uses a serrated knife and slices them into about 1/2 inch thick, diagonal slices. She then returns them to the oven, at 325F for 10 min each side. If you prefer your biscotti extra crispy, you might cook them longer - it really is up to you.
These twice-baked cookies are best enjoyed dipped into espresso or a cappuccino. Or if you prefer the traditional way, pour yourself a glass of Vin Santo - a sweet dessert wine. Enjoy!
Buon appetito!

Recipe
Yield: About 2 dozen
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla extract
2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (60 g) cocoa powder (Dutch process or regular)
1 ½ tsp (7 mL) baking soda
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
1 ¼ cups (170 g) shelled unsalted pistachios
1 cup (150 g) chopped dark chocolate chunks or chips
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. With electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the eggs, yolk, sugar and vanilla on high speed until it holds a ribbon when the beaters are lifted, about 3 minutes.
3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and fold this into the whipped eggs until fully incorporated (the mixture will deflate a little, and seem like a cake batter in consistency). Stir in the pistachios and chocolate chunks (or chips) and spoon this onto the prepared baking tray and spread into the rough shape of a single log – the batter will be soft, so don’t worry if the shape isn’t too precise. Bake this for about 35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the centre of the cantucci log comes out clean – because of the melted chocolate chunks within, you may have to test in a few places. Allow this to cool for about 20 minutes and reduce the oven temperature to 300 F (150 C).
4. Remove the cantucci log to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice across the width into cookies that are ½-inch thick. Arrange these on the lined baking trays (you’ll need 2 trays for this step) and bake for 12 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven and flip the cantucci over, returning to the oven to bake another 12 minutes. Cool the cantucci on the tray. If you find that after cooling, the cantucci aren’t crunchy all the way through, you can return them to the oven to bake a few more minutes.
The cantucci will keep up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

How to Make Authentic Italian Biscotti (Recipe)
This authentic Italian biscotti recipe is one of my all-time favourites. The biscuits are considered to be one of the best biscuits for dunking. In the Tuscan city of Prato, where these biscuits originated, biscotti is enjoyed with fresh coffee or wine. There are many variations of Biscotti such as hazelnut, lemon, double chocolate but in this video; we make almond biscotti.
The almonds are toasted in the oven, which gives the biscotti a deep flavour. The fact that they contain olive oil instead of butter makes them healthier, but the truth is you would never know that the olive oil was in there. The flavour is sweet, nutty, and the bite is crunchy. As the liquid is dried up, the biscuits are pretty preserved and can last for weeks in an airtight container, that's if they are not eaten in that time.
INGREDIENTS:
Whole almonds (150g)
Plain flour (313g)
Brown sugar (155g)
Demerara sugar (125g)
Large eggs (3)
Almond extract (1 tbsp)
Vanilla extract (1 tbsp)
Lemon zest (1 tsp)
Baking powder (1 1/2 tsp)
Olive oil (65g)
