Directions

1

{"0":"1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.","2":"2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt and combine with a fork. In a separate bowl, mix sugar and butter at medium-high speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Beat the eggs in, one at a a time, combining well after each addition. Then add dry ingredients and mix on low just until combined.","4":"3. Fold in 2\/3 cup crushed candy canes until incorporated.","6":"4. With well floured hands, evenly divide dough into three parts and form logs about 7 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the logs onto the lined baking sheet, spaced evenly.","8":"5. Bake cookies for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.","10":"6. After 10 minutes of cooling, slice logs with a serrated knife into 1 inch pieces on the diagonal. Arrange pieces on the baking sheet with a cut side facing up. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. (They will firm up as the cool too!)","12":"7. Once the biscotti has cooled, drizzle with melted white chocolate. I used these simple blocks of chocolate which melt easily in the microwave."}
