    Divide the dough into 2 to make a very large biscotti.

    (I made large cookies)

  • Work gently using extra flour so it doesn’t stick.
  • Roll to desired size log and move to a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
  • Flatten gently and egg wash the top. Sprinkle with sugar in the raw.
  • Bake 350°F 180°C for large cookies. Bake them for approximately 35 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove and let it cool for 5 minutes and slice to desired thickness. Place them back on a cookie sheet and rebake at 325°F 165°C until golden.  Let them cook and store them in an airtight container. These cookies keep well for a few weeks.
  • Enjoy!
