I have been wrapping for a week now and moving things from one pile to another and from one room to another. Whew! But all this is going to be so worth it! I am not so sure Tony is going to like packing it all in the car for the drive to Atlanta, but he'll get over it!
Today I found a wonderful recipe for Chocolate Orange Biscotti on http://www.grouprecipes.com/
I always make a biscotti tray at holiday time, so this is going to make a beautiful and tasty addition. It calls for grated orange peel, but I think I am going to use clementines which are so plentiful right now. MMMMMM.....I can just imagine the aroma! The recipe says that these freeze well, so I am going to do these over the weekend.
Thanks to Midgelet, here is her recipe:
Ingredients
10 oz of butter, softened to room temp
1 pound 6 oz sugar,
10 oz liquid whole eggs ( fresh or frozen thawed)
3 tsp grated orange peel,
2 tsp of either vanilla, almond or orange extract
1 lb 9 oz flour, weigh
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
8 oz mini chocolate chipsDirections
Cream butter
Blend in eggs
Mix and sift dry ingredients together.
Blend into creamed mixture.
Blend and mix in chocolate chips
Divide into 4 pieces
Roll each into a log shape
Placed on greased or paper lined baking sheets, 5 inches apart
Bake 350F for 10 minutes
Use a serrated knife to slice/score accross rolls into 3/4 inch slices
Bake 10 minutes cut side down
Turn over and bake another 10 minutes
Cool
May cut recipe in half
These freeze well
I hope you all have a great weekend!!

Chocolate and orange make a great combo. If you haven't noticed yet I love biscotti and talk about it on my blog! You may see me looking at this recipe in the future!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea about the chocolate orange biscotti, makes me want to have one with a lovely cup of tea. I am getting the book three cups of tea for Christmas from my sister! She told me LOL!
