Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
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, sugar, baking powder, five spice powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Add the toasted almonds and fold them into the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the lined baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.
Arrange the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy with your favorite hot beverage!
