How to Make Sunrise Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup honey until light and fluffy.
  3. Using the large side of a grater, zest the peel of 1 blood orange, avoiding the white pith. Add the zest to the mixing bowl.
  4. Juice the blood orange halves and add ½ cup of the juice to the bowl.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon almond extract to the bowl.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup white chocolate chips using a wooden spoon. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  10. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half.
  11. Roll each half into a 10-12 inch log. Place the logs lengthwise onto two greased baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between them.
  12. Gently flatten each log into a rectangle about 2 ½ inches wide.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes, or until pale gold.
  14. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets until firm enough to handle.
  15. Transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice each log diagonally into 1-inch wide slices.
  16. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie.
  17. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the cookies, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. For softer biscotti, reduce baking time by 5-10 minutes.
