Skeleton Bone Vanilla Biscotti
Course Dessert
Cuisine Italian
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces white chocolate, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long, thin bone shape with slightly thicker ends.
  • Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Dip both ends of each cooled cookie into the melted white chocolate. Place on a wire rack to set.

Notes

Shape the dough with your hands rather than a cutter so the bones look natural and irregular. If the white chocolate thickens while you work, warm it briefly over low heat. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
