I love biscotti! I used to make a biscilotti Christmas tree for Christmas, but I haven't done that in a few years. May have to make one this year, but then I'd probably eat it all by myself.

Looking forward to recipes! And thanks for the coffee Scott.

Morning! A balmy 8 this AM. "Supposed to get COLD early next week." What the heck does that mean? Cough, cough.....
I bought more coffee..... Gotta go feed the critters first!

It's snowing!! OK, maybe one flake every 10 feet and not sticking, but it looks pretty out the window!

can it sprinkle snow?

I had a pup once......used to sprinkle all the time she got excited..

LOL. Yup, it's not enough to even call it a flurry.

Much nicer than puppy sprinkles.

I made two more kinds of Biscotti today, one of which I was NOT impressed with. So I will pass along the ones that I did like...might take a couple posts.

Rosemary Biscotti

1/4 C. Butter
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1/3 C. Sugar
4 tsp. Fresh rosemary, snipped or 1 1/4 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Eggs
2 C. Flour
3/4 C. Chopped Walnuts

Beat butter and olive oil. Add sugar, Rosemary, baking powder and pepper. Beat in eggs until combined. Add flour and nuts. Divide dough in half.

Shape each portion into a 6 inch long log. Place logs about 4 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly. For a shinier surface, mix egg yolk and one TBSP of water together; brush onto logs.

Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. COOL FOR 1 HOUR. Using a serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces. Place slices, cut side down on baking sheet. bake at 325 for 12 minutes, turn slices over, bake for an additional 10 minutes. Cool.
