indestructible. Enjoy them with a warm cup of coffee or
tea.

Ingredients
    Orange Almond Biscotti
  1 1/2 cups whole almond
  5 egg
  1 egg yolk
  2 1/2 cups sugar
  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  1 teaspoon baking powder
  1 tablespoon orange zest
  1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  dash of salt
  1 egg, with 2 tbsp cold water for egg wash
    To Assemble
Directions
    Orange Almond Biscotti
   1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
   2. Lightly toast almonds on a baking sheet for 10
      minutes. Allow to cool.
3. Whisk together eggs, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla until
   sugar dissolves.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder,
   zest, cinnamon and salt (no need to sift). Add to egg
   mixture and stir in. Stir in almonds.
5. Divide dough in half and shape each into a log on a
   lightly floured surface. Logs should be 15 inches long.
   Place each cookie log on a greased or parchment-
   lined baking sheet and press down with the heel of
   your hand to flatten slightly.
6. Brush tops of the biscotti dough with egg wash and
   bake for 25 minutes, rotating pan in the oven halfway
   through baking. Remove from heat and allow to cool
   for 15 minutes.
7. Reduce oven temperature to 325 F.
8. Biscotti is easiest to slice while warm. Using a chefs
   knife, slice biscotti on an angle into 1/2- inch slices.
   Place face down on an ungreased baking sheet.
   Return cookies to oven for 20 minutes, or until they
   just start to colour a bit on the edges. They will feel
   soft when they come out of the oven, but will harden
   as they cool.
To Assemble
1. Eat as you like. Biscotti store up to a month in an
   airtight container.
