3 Sisters Cooking Italian – Biscotti

This simple recipe is great for any occasion! You can experiment with any flavor you want.

ciao with Jesus just an Italian okay so
today we’re baking Italian and we’re
going to be making this kotti which is a
twice baked cookie hence the name so
know that we ever called without that we
ever we call them sliced cookies yeah so
go figure
okay so the ingredients we’re making a
basic dough today and we’re going to
have from the basic dough we’re gonna
make three different ten area yeah
variations good word okay so the
ingredients that were using today are
four eggs for a the foulest we’ve got
already cracked yes and why do they have
cups of sugar and just kind of dump
everything in there you don’t have to
make any combination before the other
drinks and then we have a cup of oil
we’ve kind of oh yeah it’s gonna say we
need to use all white Italian oil have
you the olive oil it should be the light
I believe but we mixed it could use all
the cup okay so we have a cup of oil and
we need vanilla and almond extract now
so I mean extract is actually something
that we like who’s this
you could just whoops then always if you
don’t like almond extract that’s fine
but we’d like to take you on I’m an
almond that we live like our two example
idiots so we’re putting two teaspoons of
each right we’re doubling this recipe we
normally this is half of this but we
want to make more logs and so we’re
definitely okay so we got the flour
no okay – ready 1/2 teaspoons of baking
powder now you need to change for the
whisk to the panel put in four cups of
how simple this is
you don’t even have to bring out the
beaters nothing do it one ball by hand
when everyone’s sleeping and don’t wake
up anyway which is they didn’t do now
for probably just about 27 minutes to be
exact the exact oil till they’re light
on the top you know and they’re just
starting to get a little brown on the
bottom but you don’t have to brown and
they’re thrown to the touch okay
we can’t do it okay so we’re gonna kind
of spend five minute late we’ll see how
that works
so I remind someone with the cherries
and the almonds and then Carol’s is
playing and my missing pistachios in
chocolate chips yeah
so now you’re supposed to cut them at an
angle oh and by the way we forgot to
tell you but we kind of sprinkle some
sugar on top before we put them in the
oven the first time so and then this is
the heel which this is the one I can’t
you should always let us eat what’s your
pretty big heel you guys I know but I
wanted to eat it this way okay pretty
good don’t you slice it do what do you
ever slice it
no that’s something you would do wait
telling my my sloppy well a policeman
try to see if I put it right there
oh you have a breaking on the end mm-hmm
so are you doing yours what do you think
we reduced honey why is that um
originally when our aunt my mom sister
who made this piece all the time in the
old days did not use oil originally use
Crisco which yeah that was in the old
days we don’t know anything and they
were very good yes which you could still
have them be good that’s all and so you
could do that but we’re trying to remove
some Crisco when we would visit my
grandmother and my auntie there were
always biscotti because good thing about
biscotti is they’ll last forever because
they’re basically dried out from the
second baking right and so you can just
have them around in a tin for weeks and
they don’t but they don’t stay that long
anyway so
see what cookies mm-hmm do you want to
just put when I read it but one more I
think we can do one one okay I want to
throw that in the oven and okay so we’re
gonna put this back in the oven not too
much okay and then we’re gonna because
you have to keep an eye on it just
really depends anywhere from 10 to 20
minutes which I know is like a long time
difference but sometimes I’ve done them
and they’re pretty much done in 10
minutes and sometimes it takes longer
but you just want them to be a little
bit barb brown because if you’ll notice
they’re kind of soft in the inside and
we want to crisp that up and my sister
is kind of there you go good guys it
looks like maybe we’ve made these before
there you go so you let them cool for a
little while as long as we can before we
dive in yep before we dive in putting on
a pot of coffee
notice how professional these that
happens you had no feeling okay all
right so we’re gonna I think we’re the
plain ones we’re going to put some
chocolate I’m gonna put chocolate so
good let me get I think that would be
good and that’ll be right on the top
the heels don’t get too cool sorry
all right I think these are a little bit
warm but no matter so I’m just dumping
the bottoms into chocolate and then I’ll
lay them on their side and they won’t do
that with all of them really nice even
the wings it works like this yeah I have
to say they did good job now sometimes
and you it’s up to you because all ovens
are a little bit different you might
want to halfway through turn them over
it’s not always necessary but some of
them say no we got to try these good
guys all right
and one of course on coffee as long as
you’re alright so one of the chocolate
chip ones oh they’re right there I’ll
put a couple of those with chocolate
bottoms just because all righty so we’re
going to be getting together the next
time couple weeks
good sure okay and what do you think we
should be doing what we’re thinking a
lasagna lasagna I sound like you do
never have it no we have really good
lasagna I think so let’s all have a
cookie okay with time grab the nice
thing about these cookies I’m gonna try
one here’s two rows as you can dump them
oh I’m going to take the heel all right
oh my goodness
ready set yeah good all right
okay till next time
