Blue Biscotti for Memorial Day

Ok not completely blue but these Biscotti have blue specks from York Pieces. Have you seen those? They're a new Hershey's product and I love them! They're basically York Mint Patties but in M&M-like candy form. They also come in Almond Joy and Dark Chocolate, which I'm definitely gonna try!

Ingredients: (32 cookies)


1/2 c (1 stick) butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 c York Pieces (or any other candy you like)


Prep:


1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.


2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs and vanilla.


3. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; blend into creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff. Stir in candy.


4. Divide dough in half and gently roll each half into 12 X 2-inch log; place on prepared cookie sheets at least 4 inches apart.


5. Bake 25 minutes. Dough will spread. Cool logs 15 to 20 minutes. Slice each log into 16 slices; arrange on cookie sheet cut-side down. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
