White Chocolate, Currant & Marzipan Biscotti

These are perfect for a mid afternoon snack with a special coffee or hot chocolate (preferably laced with Purple Cow Cream Liqueur) while reading a book in front of the fire. Imagine the snow gently falling outside, and you are warm and toasty under a blanket with a purring kitty snuggling close by…. heaven.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup dried currants
1/3 cup Hansen Border Crossing Rye
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs (2 whole, 1 beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chunks
1/2 diced marzipan
Coarse sanding sugar
White chocolate, melted (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the currants and rye in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until currants have plumped up, about 5 minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid.
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. One at a time mix in the 2 whole eggs, then the vanilla and reserved currant liquid. Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the flour mixture. With a spoon stir in the currants, white chocolate and marzipan.
On a lightly floured work surface, shape dough into roughly a 12” by 5” log (or if you would like smaller cookies then make two 12” by 2 1/2” logs). Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush the log(s) with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sanding sugar.
Bake for 30-35 min and then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
Cut the log(s) on the diagonal into 3/4” wide pieces. Lay the pieces on their side and return to the oven for 8 minutes. Flip them and then bake for 8 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack.
Once cool, you may drizzle or dip the cookies into additional white chocolate if you so desire.

Bon Appetite

Kris has the knack for making great spirits and we really enjoy the Ready to drink bottles. The Berta Blue on a hot day at the lake over Ice is fantastic and I have to say Great job on this one buddy, we are gonna need more. Come give them a try, and I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely exceptional night at Hansen’s Distillery! We want to first thank Kris for opening up his space! The venue and drinks were incredible, but what truly made the evening standout was the phenomenal service. The bar staff working the event, Eli and Andrea, went completely over and above to ensure our daughter's wedding celebration was special. They were attentive, talented, and brought such a great energy to the room. If you are looking for a fantastic venue with staff who genuinely care about your experience, this is it. Thank you, Eli and Andrea, for making it an unforgettable evening! We will definitely be back.
