How to Make Cinnamon Toast Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 large egg yolk until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  8. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  9. On the prepared baking sheet, shape the dough into a log approximately 18-20 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  10. Gently flatten the log slightly.
  11. Brush the top and sides of the log evenly with a beaten egg (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water).
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is firm to the touch and light golden brown.
  13. Let the log cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
  14. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  15. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices.
  16. Place the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
  17. Sprinkle the tops of the biscotti generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  18. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crispy.
