Peanut Butter Biscotti
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups roasted peanuts, unsalted
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, peanut butter and water. Add to flour mixture and mix just until ingredients are incorporated. A little more water, a teaspoon at a time, can be added if mixture is too dry to make a smooth dough. Stir in peanuts.
- Divide the dough into two portions, and form each into a log approximately 3 inches in diameter. Place the logs on the cookie sheet about 3 to 4 inches apart and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake until light brown, about 40 minutes.
- Take out of the oven.
- Turn the oven down to 300 degrees F.
- Let logs cool for 10 minutes, then cut into 3/4 inch thick bars. Place bars, cut side down, back on the cookie sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes.
