Corn Biscotti

These delicious creatures are a combination of Christina Tosi's brilliant Corn Cookies, and the Elisabeth Prueitt's biscotti. Bright in color with a sweetness reminicant of cereal, these cookies will be sure to impress.

If you don't have corn powder you can buy freeze dried corn and pulverize it in a food processor.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter (soft)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 200 grams all purpose flour
  • 65 grams corn powder
  • 45 grams corn flour
  • 200 grams sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp tumeric (for color)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Adjust the oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325° F.
  2. Beat the butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for 2 minutes (until softened and spread out).
  3. Add sugar and beat for 2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla, beat for 2 - 5 minutes, until the color lightens.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  6. Add the combined dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal portions. Roll each out to make cylinders with a diameter of around 2 inches.
  8. Place both cylinders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 - 35 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  10. Cut slices from the logs diagonally, then place back on the sheet and bake for 5 - 10 minutes to crisp up the cookies.
