Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and honey until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter-honey mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chopped nuts to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log approximately 8 inches long and 3 inches wide.
Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the log to cool for about 10 minutes so it firms up slightly.
Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they are dry and lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
