October 17th- Biscotti and Brownies

So news flash, biscotti is friggin’ delicious!  Especially when you add lots of orange zest and hazelnuts.  One problem I learned to avoid with this crunchy cookie is getting them too dark.  It is important to make sure that your biscotti cooks enough in the first bake or it will get super dark during it’s second bake.  You also have to be very careful when cutting the biscotti, to make sure they are all the same size.

We also made some cream cheese brownies and I learned (I actually found this out at work rather than school) that if you don’t want your cream cheese to get to dark, you should put a pan on the rack above your brownies when you bake them.  The more you know!
