I think these sound really different (for those of us who haven't used up all our pink peppercorns on the feta spread) and also very pretty. I have to try them - need to get some brandy.

2 3/4 cup flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in small pieces

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup brandy

3 tablespoons whole pink peppercorns

4 oz chopped white chocolate

1 2/3 cup almonds, toasted & coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350

Combine flour, sugar, butter, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl & mix until coarse crumbs form.

Beat eggs & brandy together. Add to flour mixture & stir until just combined. Add peppercorns, almonds & white chocolate. Continue to mix until dough is moistened - will still be crumbly. Divide dough into thirds, wet your hands & form into three 12X2 inch logs. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Place sheet on rack to cool. Then put the cookie logs on cutting board & using a serrated knife, cut into 3/4 inch slices. Reduce oven heat to 300. Place the biscotti back on sheets & bake for 15 minutes. Turn the cookies over & bake for another 10 minutes.

Makes 40 biscotti

 
I love baking but I try to do it on Sunday and then take to work since I live alone.

Seems I always either eat to much or eat a few pieces over a couple of days and end up throwing the majority out.

 
Now that's an idea & brings up something else I was thinking about to barter. When

someone didn't want to spend the money to buy a bottle of Campari. Too bad you're not supposed to ship alcohol. I'd love to share a bottle with a few people because they are so big & cost about $30. I wish they had a smaller bottle.

 
I ordered mine from Penzeys.CoincidentalIy I logged in to get Kpinky's feta recipe for this weekend!

 
We don't have Penzeys but we have Sprouts (same type of store) I should check there if not MoNJ do

you have penzey's website for order?

Thank you

by the way I grew up in Woodbridge NJ and worked in Woodbridge Center in their Cheese Shop ~ wonder if they still have it ~ until 1981, my son was born in Edison and I was born in Union ~ the rest of my family were from Kings County, Brooklyn NY ~ My son and I have always been one step better (in my opinion)

 
it's www.penzeys.com. the link takes you right to the peppercorns.

ONce you go on the site, it's ther proverbial "candy store." (BTW, The Northwoods seasoning is great on grilled chicken)

LOL on the "jersey" pride. You've still got it. smileys/wink.gif good for you. Of course I was born in JC,
and moved to the 'burbs as a very young child.
Have a great weekend!
PS Still making the funny bone cake, it really should be in T&T. It's so good!!

Hey, I resent that - some of the best people I know were born in Brooklyn, and I'm one of them smileys/smile.gif I

lived there until I was 5, was taken out of kindergarten for the last semester to "live" in Teaneck, NJ, and absolutely hated it. I went back to NY (Manhattan) on my own when I was 20. Lived there over 25 years.

 
Yes! Bischoff's and Butterflake Bakery were the ONLY good things about Teaneck! I think they're both

still there.

 
I just looked online and Bischoff's has been around since 1934! Great memories of that place - I

never tried their chocolates, but had lots of sundaes, shakes, blizzards, ice cream cones, etc. They were delicious! I think I may have even had a sandwich or two over there.

Another place I used to go to was Victor's pizza shop and restaurant - those were the days when I ate all the meat I wanted, so I used to get their hot meatball heroes and veal parmigiano sandwiches, etc. They had great food then, about a million years ago - I wonder how it is today.
