I love Biscotti. But…I don’t love how hard the cookie is. I’m just not a fan of dunking cookies into my coffee…. Then I noticed this great Spice Biscotti recipe that doesn’t twice bake them. Perfect!
The recipe has all the great spice seasoning you’d expect. The recipe called for almonds, but I substituted walnuts since I didn’t have any. I also added some raisins…thought that would be a great addition.



These are perfect on a cold Winter’s day with a cup of steaming cocoa or hot coffee or tea. Don’t you just love the LL Bean mug I just got on my last trip there?

They came out awesome, except the bottoms got a little too browned. But they were still delicious.



How easy are these to make?

You mix the first 7 ingredients and then gradually add the flour and baking powder. Mix together and place on a floured surface. Divide into thirds and shape into 6 inch by 4 inch loafs.



Place on the baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

Cook and cut into diagonal slices.

These cookies are REALLY GOOD…I mean really good. Perfect for curling up with cocoa, coffee or tea, watching a great movie or reading a good book!

They are also perfect for gift giving!

Print Recipe

Delicious soft spice biscotti with nuts and raisins. Softer than the traditional biscotti. The perfect Italian cookie.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 2 dozen 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup oil
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. water
3 large eggs
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine first 9 ingredients.

Beat with a hand or stand mixer at low speed approx. 1 minute.

Combine flour and baking powder. Gradually add flour mixture to mixture in bowl, beating until blended.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, shape into three 6″ x 4″ rectangles.

Place rectangles onto baking sheet coated with cooking spray or a parchment sheet. Flatten to 3/4′ thickness.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

Remove and cool for 10 minutes. Cut diagonally into 3/4 inch slices.

Notes

Original recipe called for a baking temperature of 375 degrees F. I thought they came out too browned on the bottom, so I would suggest baking at 350 degrees F.

If you would like the traditional biscotti, after slicing put back in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Flip cookies over and cook for another 10 minutes.
