Apricot Walnut Biscotti dipped in your morning coffee is a treat you shouldn't pass up. Especially when your Biscotti is drizzled in White Chocolate. Time to jazz up that cup of joe with a little bit of crunch!

What is Biscotti?

A twice baked Italian biscuit that is dry, crunchy, oblong shaped, and filled with nuts or fruit. Since they are very hard, biscotti is usually served with a drink. Dipping the crunchy cookie into teas, coffees, and juices softens the texture, making them more enjoyable to chew.

Tips for Making Apricot Walnut Biscotti:

  • Use room temperature butter to beat with your sugar.
  • Stick with dried fruit for your batter. I've tried using fresh fruit and it causes the dough to be way to moist, making it hard to form and results in large cracks during baking.
  • Dust your hands with flour to remove dough from bowl.
  • It should be sticky but not overly wet.
  • Pat dough halves into even sized 10-12 inch logs, using flour dusted hands.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut your half baked biscotti into slices. Hold the loaf in one hand to support the edges while slicing. The biscotti will still be soft in the middle and easy to tear.
  • Melt your white chocolate in a heat proof glass bowl over a sauce pan of boiling water. Or place white chocolate in a bowl and microwave on high in ten second intervals, stirring in between until melted.
  • Drizzle your white chocolate or simply dip the ends of each cookie.
  • Store your baked biscotti in an air tight container. It does not need to be kept in the fridge and should stay fresh for up to two weeks.
  • The nuts and dried fruit in this recipe can be substituted. I  love the pairing of white chocolate and Apricot, but dried cranberry and dark chocolate is just as tasty!!
