Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Lightly flour your work surface and shape the dough into a long, flat log approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Transfer the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to create the topping.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the dough log.
Bake the log in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.
Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip the biscotti and bake for another 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden further as they cool.
Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea!
