My favorite biscotti recipe with a cinnamon-sugar twist.
Ingredients:
For the Biscotti:
- 2ยพcupsall-purpose flour
- 1ยฝteaspoonsground cinnamon
- 1teaspoonbaking powder
- ยฝteaspoonsalt
- ยฝcupunsalted butter(at room temperature)
- 1cupgranulated sugar
- 2eggs
- 1teaspoonvanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1egg white
- 1teaspoonwater
- ยผcupgranulated sugar
- 1teaspoonground cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- Cream together the sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each is thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and rub your hands with a little flour. Divide the dough in two and form each half into a log about 4 inches wide by 10 inches long. Places the logs on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water, and brush each log evenly. In a separate small bowl, stir together the ยผ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the brushed dough.
- Bake on the prepared baking sheet until lightly browned and small cracks form on top, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly on the baking sheet, about 10 minutes (leave the oven on). Transfer the logs to a cutting board. Slice diagonally in generous ยฝ-inch slices. Place them cut side up on the baking sheet and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until slightly browned, turning over half way through. Cool completely on a wire rack. Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for two weeks.

Mmm love the look of this!
The perfect recipe to warm up a chilly kitchen on a rather wet dreary Pittsburgh afternoon. I am on these ASAP! And I second the request for a pumpkin biscotti. How delicious that sounds this time of year too :) YUM!
Love these! I can eat biscotti way too easy with a nice americano!!
Oh this sounds wonderful! Must make for my mom ASAP!
Looks too good and amazing.. thanks for the recipe :)
Love this version of Biscotti!!
What a fun variation on biscotti! These look scrumptious :)
What a wonderful treat to have growing up! I love biscotti — it doesn’t get much better than homemade biscotti with a good cup of coffee.
I love biscotti! It’s my favorite cookie to eat in the winter with hot cocoa or coffee (love the cups you use, too). This sounds like a really simple flavor that pairs well with whatever I would be happening to drink.
I keep meaning to mention, whenever I open your site a popup ad appears. I’m not sure if this is intentional or not.
Awesome. I will bake a batch today!!! I am baking today and these are being added to my list!
These look great….when is a pumpkin biscotti going to show up!
I really enjoyed your story – and that your grandmother had some biscotti on reserve! I’ve only made biscotti once, but I’ll have to change that and try these. They are beautiful!
Love the snickerdoodle flavor in these biscotti! I wish I had one to dip in my morning coffee!
Genius! Can’t wait to make these. :)
Oh wow. Just wait til I show these to my mom. She’s the queen of biscotti… they look so, so scrumptious.
Walnut studded, butternut flavored biscotti..I just cried a little… :-) They sound absolutely outstanding.
I just love your posts. Look forward to them everyday. :-) The question is, does this mean that Duke and Einstein get a little piece of biscotti? :-)
Einstein and Duke don’t get any biscotti ;-) Einstein needs to lose a few pounds, and we’re trying to not introduce any table food to Duke so he doesn’t become a beggar :)
can’t wait to bake, biscotti, nothing like biscotti dunk in coffee.
yum! My grandmother never made biscotti, haha…although she did often have molasses cookies around.
My question is this: what makes these specifically snickerdoodle biscotti, as opposed to just being cinnamon sugar ones? I thought one of the main snickerdoodle attributes was cream of tartar…or am I confusing my baked goods? Which is entirely possible.
These look so good! Perfect for a snack on a cold day xo
Gosh, now you got me hankering for one of these biscuits now! I have made these in ages but I remember how good they were with a black coffee. Such a sweet story; I used to feed the neighbourhood cat too as something fun (as not allowed to own a pet), good times.
I love snicker doodle-anything, perfect biscotti flavor!
