The Title of the Recipe
Coconut Panna Cotta Biscotti
Introduction
These Italian-inspired cookies are perfect for dunking in coffee or tea. The addition of shredded coconut adds a delightful texture and flavor combination.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, shredded coconut, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.
Step 6: Bake the Biscotti
Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for even baking. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 7: Slice and Bake Again
Slice each log into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices and place on the baking sheet, cut side down. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
