Chocolate-Orange Biscotti w/Orange & Sambuca Glaze

This recipe is a little different from my Biscotti recipe. I got a little help from Mario Batali and just put own spin on it. My Biscotti use butter and this one does not. I was in the mood for some chocolate and this is what I came up with!

That was Mario's original recipe, you can see how I changed it up a bit.

2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon almond extract

2 tablespoons of Sambuca

Juice of 1 large orange

Zest from 1 large orange

Preheat oven to 350

In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, sugar and baking powder. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, yolks, Sambuca, orange juice, zest and almond extract. Add wet mix to dry and stir until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes.  Roll the dough into 3 logs each about 10 by 2 inches. Place a piece of parchment (or foil buttered) onto a baking sheet and place logs on sheet. Place in oven and bake 20 minutes until light golden brown and remove. Allow to cool 5 minutes and cut logs on a slight diagonal into pieces 1/2-inch thick. Lower heat to 300. Return cut biscotti to baking sheet, just a little bit apart from each other, and place in oven. Bake 20 minutes until crisp and dry. Cool and serve.

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons of Sambuca

Juice of an orange, start with a little & then taste & see if you feel it needs more.

Whisk really well and drizzle over the top of the cookies.
