Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine rum and dried fruit in a bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap, and microwave until rum boils, 45 seconds to a minute. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and all spice) in a bowl. Set aside.
- Strain the dried fruit, reserving 3 tablespoons of the rum.
- Whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the reserved rum in a mixing bowl.
- Stir the rum-egg mixture with the dry ingredients. Add walnuts (or macadamia nuts), dried fruit, and coconut into the bowl. Fold them into the dough.
- Using a ruler and a pencil, draw two 2 by 12-inch rectangular shapes on a parchment paper. They should be 3-4 inches apart from one another. Flip it, and place it on a baking sheet.
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form each log into a 2X12-inch log.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly browned. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Do not turn the oven off.
- Transfer one of the logs onto a cutting board, and using a serrated knife, cut on bias into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place the biscotti slices cut side down onto the baking sheet. Repeat the same process with the second log.
- Bake for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking process.
- Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
