Italian Orange and Almond Cookies
4 large egg whites
¼ teaspoon salt
450g (2 cups) caster (super fine) sugar
Zest of 1 orange
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla sugar (1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
600g ( 4 3/4 cups) ground almonds
Icing (confectioners) sugar
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand held electric whisk, whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff and dry. Gradually add in the sugar one tablespoon at a time, until the egg whites are glossy and all the sugar has dissolved. Add the vanilla sugar (or essence) and whisk until incorporated. Add the zest and almonds and mix together well. You should have a hard-ish paste to work with.
Dust a clean surface with icing sugar and dump your almond paste on to the surface. Using a knife divide the dough into 12 (or more) portions. Working with one portion at a time, roll the dough with hands dusted in icing sugar into logs about an inch thick. Using a knife, cut the dough into inch long pieces, each piece should be about the size and shape of a large bottle cap.
Place cookies on a baking sheet that has been lined with baking paper and allow to dry overnight (8 hours). In the morning preheat the oven to 140 C / 275 F, once hot bake the cookies for about 30 minutes. Once cooled roll in icing sugar, and place in an air tight container.

Biscotti with Almonds, Cranberry, & Orange
This is another winning flavor combination for biscotti, and I’m sure you will enjoy it as much as my family does. The orange zest adds so much flavor to this and is a perfect complement to the craisins. Try this recipe with walnuts or pecans instead of almonds for a different flavor variation.
Ingredients
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup neutral oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup almonds roughly chopped
• 1 cup craisins
• zest from 1 large or 2 small oranges
• ½ tsp orange extract
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3. Combine sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest in a large bowl and mix until well-blended.
4. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and add to egg mixture.
5. The dough will be heavy. Mix until well combined. If necessary, use your hands to combine thoroughly.
6. Add almonds and craisins and mix into the dough.
7. Divide dough into two equal pieces. Place sheet of parchment paper on sheet pan. Form each piece into a log the length of your cookie sheet and approximately ½ inch thick.
8. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Carefully transfer logs to wire racks until cool enough to handle.
9. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
10. Slice each log crosswise into roughly ½ inch slices. Place slices back on the cookie sheet.
11. Bake an additional 20-30 minutes until lightly toasted.
12. Allow to cool and store in airtight container or freeze.
