How to Make Maple Glazed Biscotti

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and baking powder until creamy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Carefully stir in the flour until the dough is smooth.
Fold in the white chocolate chunks.
Transfer your dough to a baking sheet and shape it into a log about 14 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let stand for about 15-25 minutes.
Sprinkle with some water about 5 minutes before you slice into it, making sure to reach all of the sides of the biscotti.
Reduce your oven temperature to 325 degrees f and wait another 5 minutes.
Slice the biscotti into 3/4 inch thick slices.
Stand your biscotti upright on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
Prepare the glaze for the top by mixing the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
Whisk together until smooth and stir in the maple syrup.
Use a fork to dip into the glaze and drizzle over the top of the cooled biscotti.

FAQs

What kind of sugar is Zulka?

Zulka sugar is a type of “real” sugar made from fresh sugar cane. It’s sort of like a cross between sugar in the raw (turbinado) and white granulated sugar, although it’s closer to the white sugar you’re used to seeing. It’s a healthier sugar of choice and is perfect for baking, cooking, and using in place of granulated sugar.

Substitute for Zulka sugar

If you do not have Zulka sugar available near you you can make this recipe using the regular granulated sugar that is most likely already in your pantry. While the biscotti flavor will change slightly, it will still taste delicious and no added changes will need to be made to the recipe to accommodate this simple switch and change.

How long are homemade biscotti good for?

Homemade biscotti can be kept stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Make sure that the cookies have completely dried and cooled before storing them to maximize their shelflife and tasty potential. Storing the cookies while they are still wet will result in a shorter lifespan of cookie.

For longer storage solutions, you can freeze your biscotti in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Then when you want to eat one, simply remove it from the freezer and allow it to thaw for a few minutes before eating as desired.
