White Chocolate-Dipped Almond and Lemon Biscotti
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons grated lemon zest (from 3 to 4 lemons)
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped whole almonds
- 2 1/2 cups (18 ounces) white chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
- In another large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer until pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the lemon zest and then the flour mixture, and beat until just blended.
- (The dough will be sticky.)
- Stir in the almonds.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough evenly into 2 equal mounds and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- With moist hands, space the dough evenly apart and form into 2 loaves, each 9 x 3 inches.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Cool for 5 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the logs crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick diagonal slices.
- Arrange the biscotti cut side up on the same baking sheet.
- Bake until the cookies are pale golden, about 25 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
- Pour the chocolate chips into a heat-proof bowl.
- Place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the bottom of the pan does not touch the water.
- Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Dip the end of each biscotti in the chocolate.
- Transfer the dipped biscotti to a wire rack, set over a baking sheet, until the chocolate has hardened.
- Store in an airtight container.
