    Description

    Enjoy the tangy taste of orange, warmed with a hint of cinnamon and served up in a crispy biscotti. Dip in coffee or tea or enjoy as a dessert or snack.

    Directions

    1. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
    2. Beat sugar and unsalted butter in a large bowl until well blended.
    3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
    4. Beat in orange peel and vanilla.

    8. Remove dough logs from oven and cool 10 minutes.
    9. Transfer logs to work surface. Using serrated knife, cut on diagonal into ½-inch-thick slices. Arrange cut side down on baking sheets.
    10. Bake until bottoms are golden, about 12 minutes.
    11. Turn biscotti over; bake until bottoms are golden, about 12 minutes longer.
    12. Transfer to a wire rack and cool before serving.
