Has your life been taken over by Hurricane Sandy? Thankfully where I live, we have only had to endure constant rain and howling winds

Ingredients

Biscotti

  • 2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups Grape Nuts cereal

  • 1/2 cup ground almonds

Frosting

  • 1 cup icing sugar

  • 2 tablespoons Gefen Almond Milk or other milk (parve or dairy)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line one to two cookie sheets with Gefen Parchment Paper.

Beat eggs and sugar. Add oil, vanilla and almond extract.

3.

Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just incorporated.

4.

Mix in cereal and almonds. Do not overmix.

5.

Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes.

6.

You can use cranberries (craisins), coconut, chocolate chips, chopped dates, chopped dried apricots (almost any dried fruit) cherries, for example. If you use almond extract, be sure it is not actually made from almonds, if that is the situation, use vanilla instead.

These are soooo good!! Not sure what possessed me to try these, since I’m not a Grape Nuts person, but boy am I glad I did! These are really good biscotti that my entire family loves! Everyone who tries them wants to know what the secret ingredient is!! Definitely a keeper! Thanks for a great recipe!
