Rum-Soaked Raisin Biscotti

By cindyandmojo

The dough can be sticky, so lightly flour your hands or coat them with cooking spray before shaping it into logs. Making the logs as uniform as possible ensures even baking.

Ingredients

• 3 cup(s) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1 cup(s) sugar
• 2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) fine salt
• 1 tablespoon(s) pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup(s) raisins
• 1/3 cup(s) dark rum
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoon(s) finely grated orange zest

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Combine raisins and rum. Microwave 2 minutes; let cool. Add rum-raisin mixture and orange zest and beat until combined.

Divide dough in half and transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Form each half into a 2 1/2-inch-wide, 3/4-inch-tall log. Bake until dough is firm but gives slightly when pressed, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack, 20 minutes.

With a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/4-inch slices on the diagonal and arrange, cut side down, on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until biscotti are crisp and golden, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets and flipping biscotti halfway through. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
