Great Cookie Recipe...with pics
Today was my school's cookie swap. I made Coconut Biscotti, but I dyed the coconut red and green. They're so easy to make, almost no prep time, but 1 hr cooking time..Here's the recipe if anyone's interested
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut
Preheat oven 300 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg). In a separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar and vanilla; beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add flour mixture and coconut to egg mixture and stir with spoon. Dough will be very sticky! Turn dough out on a heavily floured surface, knead 7-8 times. Shape dough into a 15''x3'' roll. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pat into 1'' thickness. Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
Cut roll diagonally into 1/2'' slices and stand upright on baking sheet. Bake again for 15-20 minutes to crispen sides. Remove from baking sheet and cool completely on wire rack.
Enjoy!
