Brownie Alpine Biscotti

"I love visiting with friends over a pot of co ee, so I developed these crisp, chocolaty
cookies to munch along with each cup," comments Jeanie Williams of Minnetonka,
Minnesota. Brownie mix makes them easy to stir up, and a white chocolate and
almond topping adds a festive look.

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. +

cooling
YIELD: 2-1/2 dozen.

Ingredients
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch size)
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup all-purpose our
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg plus 3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds, optional
3 ounces white baking chocolate, optional

Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, ground almonds, our and baking powder. In a small bowl,
whisk egg, egg whites and extract. Add to brownie mixture; stir until combined.

2. Divide dough into thirds. On a greased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 7x3-1/2-in. rectangle.
Bake at 350° for 24 minutes. Remove from the oven; cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes.

3. Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down
on greased baking sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes longer or until rm.

4. Cool on wire racks. If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds and drizzle with chocolate. Let stand until
chocolate is completely set. Store in an airtight container.

The loaves spread and formed a huge blob. Disappointed.

I had issues nding almond our/ground almonds....for a double batch, I took 6 oz of sliced
almonds and put them through the blender then topped with whole wheat our and it worked.

Also, I don't like that there are "hidden" nuts in here because I ship a lot overseas so I actually did
this without the ground almonds...I replaced that 3/4 cup with 3/4 cup whole wheat our. While
the almond version is better, both were very good and turned out a great consistency. I also
replaced the almond extract with vanilla extract.

I didn't have our issues - yes it is very sticky and I had to almost "knead" it with my hands to get it
mixed and then ended up with club hands in getting this on the cookies sheets, but I never did add
any extra our and they turned out well.

My recipe doesn't show any amount for eggs or egg whites. Help!

I made these as gifts for Christmas last year. I do remember having to add some extra our to get
them into the loaf shapes for baking. The beauty of this recipe is starting with a packaged brownie
mix. What a time saver! Everyone I gave them to said they loved them. If I have time this year, I'll
make them again and keep them for me and my husband!

Thanks to the feedback of previous posts I added 3/4 cut our instead of 1/2 cup. This resulted in
the ideal consistency and the result was delicious biscotti. They tasted and looked better then
most I have had from my local cafe!

Too hard, not what I had hoped for

There appears to be a mistake in this recipe. It needs more our because the batter was very wet
and sticky. Even after refrigerating the dough, it was not possible to shape the dough.

I made a batch last night and it's my husband's new favorite. It's very simple but gorgeous! It is a
bit di cult to mix with so little moisture, but worth it. Baking times were accurate for me. Thanks
for the great recipe!

I was totally dsiappointed with the nal product. It needs to bake longer, as one of my loafs
crumbled when going to transfer it to a cutting board, therefor it was wasted. I would truly
reconsider this recipe if it yielded a bit more than what it claims. A waste of ingredients if you ask
me.

I make this biscotti every year for Christmas gifts and it is a real hit. My friends & relatives always
request it. I leave o the white chocolate, though, because it stores better without it.
