Cappuccino Biscotti

This is a shortcut recipe but it’s good and easy (hence the shortcut). Terri gave me this recipe.  She got it from the back of Maxwell House instant cappuccino.  I use any brand or flavor.  

Cappuccino Biscotti

2 cups flour

2 helping of instant flavored cappuccino – dry

1½ t. baking powder

½ c. butter or margarine – soft

¼ t. salt

¾ c. sugar

2 eggs

1t. vanilla

1 c. chopped nuts

Heat oven to 325.  Mix cappuccino, baking powder and salt.  Beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large bowl on medium until well blended.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in nuts.  Divide dough into 2 equal portions; shape into 2 (14 inch) logs on lightly floured surface.  Place 2 inches apart on greased and floured cookie sheet.  Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from cookie sheet.  Cool 5 minutes.  Cut logs diagonally into ¾ inch slice.  Place on cookie sheet ½ inch apart.  Bake 10 minutes or until slightly dry.  Makes about 2 dozen.
