Oatmeal Cookie Biscotti Recipes

OATMEAL COOKIE BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat eggs, adding sugar gradually, at medium speed until smooth and light, 1-2 minutes. Stir in flour mixture and raisins.
• Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking sheet and, with well floured hands, form into rectangular logs about 1/2 inch high. Sprinkle a few oats on top for decoration. Length and width are your perogative. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
• Slice logs into 1/3-1/2 inch thick slices (1-1.5 cm) and lay flat on baking sheet.
• Lower oven temperature to 300°F Bake sliced cookies for 15 minutes, flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes. If cookies are not firm, depending on how thickly they were sliced, turn again and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

JOY OF COOKING'S OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Sift (sifting is important!) flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg (its not in the recipe, but I add about 1/8-1/4 tsp of ground cloves, too) into a mixing bowl.
• Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with a hand mixer at medium speed.
• Sift (yes, again!) flour mixture into butter mixture and mix well.
• Fold in raisins (or chocolate chips or chocolate covered raisins) and oats.
• Spoon 1.5 inch balls onto non-stick cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350°F for 6-9 minutes, rotating half way through baking. (Should be lightly firm in the center when done) Be careful -- oatmeal raisin cookies don't look done when they are, so they are very easy to over cook (unless you want then to be crispy) :).

OATMEAL RAISIN ALMOND BISCOTTI

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Stir in oatmeal. Set aside.
• 3. In a small bowl add eggs, honey, vanilla extract and almond extract and set aside.
• 4. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, cream together butter and sugar for about 3 minutes. Add egg, honey and extract mixture and mix until incorporated.
• 5. Turn mixer speed to low (this is important) and gradually add dry mixture just until incorporated, do not overmix. Stir in chopped almonds and raisins incorporating any dry ingredients left on the sides of the bowl.
• 6. Using floured hands, split the dough in half. On the parchment lined baking sheet roll or press each half into two logs 12-13 inches long and about 3 inches wide. Placing logs about 3 inches apart. Sprinkle with course sugar crystals and lightly press into loaf.
• 7. Bake until the loaves are golden brown and just beginning to crack on top about 30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.
• 8. Remove loaf from oven and place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• 9. Place the loaf on a cutting board (remember not the side of the cutting board used for onions or garlic!) and slice each loaf into 3/4 inch thick slices using a serrate knife. Lay the slices cut side down about 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheet.
• 10. Bake 8 - 10 minutes and turn the slices over bake another 8 - 10 minutes until the slices are golden brown. Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.
