Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon maple extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the bottom and slightly cracked on top, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven; cool for 15 minutes, but leave oven on.

Step 4

Beat ½ cup butter and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in ½ cup maple syrup and maple extract. Stir in flour mixture just until dough forms; fold in walnuts just until combined.

Step 5

Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a log the length of a baking sheet; place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each log into a rectangle 3-inches-wide and 1-inch-tall.

Step 6

Slice logs diagonally into ½-inch-thick slices; lay slices on their sides on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crisp on the outside, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; cool 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 8

Combine ¼ cup maple syrup and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a bowl. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Lightly drizzle maple glaze with a spoon over warm biscotti.
