Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped Brazil nuts
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it is ready for the biscotti.
-
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and eggs. Blend these ingredients on medium speed for about 3 to 4 minutes until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly creamy.
-
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter and egg mixture. Continue mixing until a dough forms, which should be cohesive and easy to handle.
-
Add Nuts: Fold in the chopped Brazil nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. This will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to your biscotti.
-
Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape it into a log that measures approximately 14 inches in length and 4 inches in width. Flatten the log slightly with your hands or a spatula to ensure an even baking surface.
-
First Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The log should be firm and golden brown.
-
Cool and Slice: After baking, remove the log from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 12 minutes. Once slightly cooled, use a serrated knife to slice the log into 30 even slices.
-
Second Bake: Arrange the sliced biscotti cut-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Flip each slice over and bake for an additional 8 minutes on the other side.
-
Final Cooling: Turn off the oven and leave the biscotti inside with the door slightly ajar. Allow the biscotti to cool completely in the oven for 40 minutes. This step helps the biscotti become extra crisp and crunchy.
-
Store: Once cooled, remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer them to an airtight container or tin. Store them at room temperature to keep them fresh.
Enjoy these Brownie Biscotti with your favorite cup of coffee or tea. They make a delightful gift and a perfect treat for any occasion. Happy baking! 🍪☕
