My second cherry recipe and it is delicious!!! I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, it had a ton a reviews. I used the candied cherries I made myself a few months ago. I made 2 batches of these biscotti's and instead of using white chocolate to drizzle over them, since I didn't have any, I used regular melting chocolate.
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsps almond extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped candied cherries
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate
Preheat over to 350F degrees. Grease a large cookie sheet. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs on at a time, then stir in the almond extract. Combine the flour and backing powder; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in candied cherries and mini chocolate chips. With lightly floured hands, shape dough into two 10 inch long loaves. Place rolls 5 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet; flatten each to 3 inch width.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until set and lightly golden brown. Coll 10 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut loaves diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange slices cut side down on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 20 minutes, or until bottoms begin to brown. Turn and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until browned and crisp.
Cool completely. Melt white chocolate in the microwave, stirring 20 to 30 seconds until smooth. Drizzle cookies with melted white chocolate. Store in tightly covered containers. Keep for weeks!
