Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup whole almonds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon pure almond extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the toasted whole almonds and orange zest, ensuring the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log roughly 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between them. Flatten the tops slightly with your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and golden brown.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
