Ingredients
Biscotti Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Land O’Lakes Butter (1 stick, softened) Use fresh butter for a brighter flavor.
- 1 cup granulated sugar Regular sugar.
- 2 large eggs At room temperature.
- 1/2 cup eggnog For flavor.
- 2 teaspoons rum or 1 teaspoon rum extract Vanilla extract can also be used as a substitute.
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Standard flour.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg Freshly grated is preferable.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract Can substitute with vanilla extract.
- 2-3 tablespoons eggnog Adjust for glaze consistency.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, and eggs using a mixer for about 1 minute until glossy.
- Mix in eggnog and rum or rum extract until blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredient into the wet mixture, blending until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a long roll, about 14 inches long. Place rolls on the baking sheet, 3 inches apart, and flatten tops slightly.
Baking
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the warm biscotti into 1/2-inch crosswise slices using a serrated knife.
- Place slices cut side down back on the baking sheet and bake again for 10 minutes. Flip slices and bake for another 10 minutes until firm and lightly browned.
- Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Glazing
- Combine the powdered sugar with rum or rum extract in a small bowl.
- Gradually add the eggnog until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled biscotti using a fork.
- Optionally, sprinkle a touch of nutmeg on top before the glaze hardens.
Notes
These biscotti store well in an airtight container for up to two weeks. For a softer biscotti, reduce the second bake time. Experiment with variations like chocolate chips or almonds for a twist.
