Servings: 72 Biscotti

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups chopped pecans
• 2 cups white chocolate baking chips
• 1 cup vegetable shortening

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add melted unsweetened chocolate, eggs, olive oil, rum, vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
   • Incorporate baking chips and chopped pecans, ensuring a uniform dough consistency.

2. Shape and Bake:

   • Quarter the dough and shape it into 4 logs, each about 2 1/2″ wide by 14″ long.
   • Place 2 logs on each of 2 lightly oiled (10×15″) baking pans.
   • Bake logs at 350 degrees until firm to the touch, approximately 20 minutes.

3. Slice and Bake Again:

   • Cool logs slightly in pans; then, using a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1/2″ wide slices.
   • Place slices cut side down on pans and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes more.

4. White Chocolate Coating:

   • In a double boiler, melt white chocolate and vegetable shortening over hot water, stirring until smooth.
   • Alternatively, heat in a nonmetal bowl in a microwave on 100 percent power for 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until soft and smooth (about 1 1/2 minutes total).

5. Dip and Chill:

   • Dip one end of each biscotti about 1″ into the melted white chocolate to coat.
   • Lay the chocolate-coated cookies on wire racks until firm; for a quicker process, chill them.

6. Serve or Store:

   • Once firm, serve these decadent biscotti and relish the rich flavors.
   • Alternatively, wrap them airtight to store for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
