Brownie Alpine Biscotti
recipe from Taste of Home
Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch size)
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg plus 3 egg whites
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds, optional
3 ounces white baking chocolate, optional
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, ground almonds, flour and
baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk egg, egg whites and extract.
Add to brownie mixture; stir until combined.
Divide dough into thirds. On a greased baking sheet, shape each
portion into a 7-in. x 3-1/2-in. rectangle. Bake at 350° for 24
minutes.
Remove from the oven; cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife
into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on greased baking sheets.
Bake 12-14 minutes longer or until firm.
Cool on wire racks. If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds and
drizzle with chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is completely set.
Store in an airtight container.
