Como fazer Apricot Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread 1 cup of hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
- Place the cooled hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub together to remove some of the skins. Coarsely chop and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes more.
- Add the zest of 1 lemon and 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
- Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and 1 cup chopped dried apricots.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a 10-inch by 2-inch log.
- Place the logs on an ungreased baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the logs to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Discard the end pieces.
- Arrange the biscotti slices, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 minutes, then flip and bake for another 9 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
