Coconut Macadamia Biscotti

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 26 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp coconut extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup toasted macadamia nuts - chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ยบ F.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract and coconut extract and mix until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix on low until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Fold in the coconut and chopped macadamia nuts.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape each into a ball.
  • Gently roll to shape each ball into a log about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
  • Place the logs on a parchment lined baking sheet leaving 3 - 4 inches between each log to allow the dough to spread as it cooks.
  • Gently press the sides and tops of each log and then bake in oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cook for 20 - 30 minutes.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut 1/2 diagonal slices. Cut in one motion rather than sawing to reduce breakage.
  • Place the biscotti, cut side up, on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 12 - 15 minutes, until dry and lightly golden.
  • The biscotti will dry as they cool.
  • Store in an air tight container at room temp.
