Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup dried blueberries
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a dough forms.
Fold in the dried blueberries and sliced almonds (if using), ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Lightly flour your hands and transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Shape the dough into a log approximately 12 inches long and 4 inches wide, smoothing the surface as needed.
Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch and lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the baked log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick biscotti pieces.
Place the sliced biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip each piece and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Serve them with coffee, tea, or your favorite hot beverage.
