My contribution to Cammy's Virtual Holiday Potluck.
MACADAMIA NUT BISCOTTI
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, soft
2 1/4 cups sugar
5 large eggs
5 cups flour
4 cups macadamia nuts ( 2 bags from Trader Joe's)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla
3 tablespoons Myers Dark Rum
Heat oven to 325
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, then vanilla and rum. Add dry ingredients and mix until blended. Add nuts by hand. Batter will be thick.
Divide into 4 parts onto parchment paper covered baking sheets and shape into logs 1 1/2 inches in diameter by 12 inches long. Wet your hands with water to make shaping the logs easier. (Since these spread when cooking, I just put 1 log on each sheet.) Bake approximately 30 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool a bit, then cut into slices 1/2 to 1/3 inches wide.
Reduce oven heat to 250. Arrance biscotti cut side down and bake 15-20 minutes more on each side until crisp and dry. You may also stand them upright to bake them, just make sure there is room for air to circulate around each cookie.
Cool completely, store airtight.
