1

Gather the Magical Ingredients

To conjure up your Broomstick Biscotti, you'll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of your favorite mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits).

2

Whip Up the Spellbinding Dough

In a large cauldron (okay, mixing bowl), combine the softened butter and sugar. Stir until creamy and well-mixed. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Next, sprinkle in the vanilla extract and stir until it's fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a bewitchingly smooth dough forms. Stir in your chosen mix-ins and give the dough one final stir to evenly distribute the goodness.

3

Shape the Broomstick Biscotti

Divide the dough into two equally magical portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them for magical expansion. Don't forget to give them a gentle pat on the back for their hard work!

4

Bake and Cool Like a Wizard

Pop the baking sheet into a preheated oven set to 325°F (165°C). Let the Broomstick Biscotti bake for about 25 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Once they're sufficiently baked, remove the biscotti logs from the oven, but keep the oven on. Allow the logs to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes or until they're just cool enough to handle.

5

Magical Transformation into Broomsticks

Using a sharp knife (or your wand, if you're feeling extra magical), carefully slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Arrange the sliced biscotti, cut-side down, on the baking sheet. Now it's time for the final touch of enchantment! Place the baking sheet back into the oven and bake the biscotti for another 10 minutes, or until they become delightfully crisp. Once they achieve their crispy perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Watch them as they work their magic!
