The other day I found a wonderfully delicious Red Fig Jam and it got me thinking about using it in a cookie recipe. I turned to the biscotti cookie recipe in the Cooking Light Gluten-Free Baking cookbook since it worked well in the past and went to work modifying the recipe. Instead of pistachios, I used macadamia nuts, added chopped dried figs and some red fig jam.
Let me just say, these are delicious, taste wise I couldn't ask for better flavours. Texture wise, I think I will need to do some more tweaking with the recipe. It's a little soft in the centre. Perhaps I should have flattened the dough a little more prior to the first bake. And maybe added more flour to the mix to compensate for the figs and jam? I'm definitely going to work with these flavours again because there is nothing to complain about in that department. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying the biscotti with a cup of tea.
