Gluten-Free Orange Biscotti with Chocolate
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 to 3 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- zest of one orange
- 1 tsp orange juice
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups King Arthur measure for measure gf flour
- 1/2 cup Ghirardelli dark & milk chocolate to melt
- coarse sugar for sprinkling
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheet with parchment.
Beat butter, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, salt, vanilla and baking powder until smooth.
Beat in eggs, add in flour until batter is smooth (will be very thick), divide batter in half (add chocolate chips to half the batter) and shape into two 9 1/2 by 2 inch logs (or so) about 3/4 inch tall.
Smooth the tops and sides with a wet spatula.
Sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Then brush water on the logs, making them softer to cut.
Reduce oven heat to 325 for second bake.
Wait 5 minutes, then use sharp knife and cut 1/2-3/4 inch slices.
Separate the slices on the baking sheet and bake for around 15-20 minutes (I baked mine for 18 minutes) or until slightly golden.
Cool and store and dip in coffee.
Drizzle melted chocolate on top if you like
