Cashew-and-Golden Raisin Biscotti
Ingredients:
1-2/3
cups all-purpose flour
3/4
teaspoon baking powder
1/2
teaspoon grated whole nutmeg
1/4
teaspoon baking soda
1/4
teaspoon ground mace
3/4
cup sugar
2
teaspoons vanilla extract
2
large eggs
3/4
cup chopped dry-roasted cashews
3/4
cup golden raisins
Cooking
spray
Instructions:
Preheat
oven to 300 degrees.
Lightly
spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the
flour and the next 4 ingredients (flour through mace) in a large bowl.
Beat the sugar, vanilla, and eggs with a mixer in a large bowl at medium
speed until thick. Stir in the flour mixture, cashews, and raisins. Turn
the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 7 or 8
times. Shape dough into a 12-inch roll. Place roll on a baking sheet coated
with cooking spray, and pat to 1-inch thickness. Bake at 300 degrees for
45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack.
Cut
roll diagonally into 24 (1/2-inch) slices; stand the slices upright on
baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes (the cookies will be slightly soft in
center but will harden as they cool). Remove from baking sheet; cool completely
on wire rack.
