Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup whole almonds (toasted)
- 0.5 cup optional: chocolate chips
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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, Kahlua, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Fold in the toasted almonds and, if desired, chocolate chips.
Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a 12-inch-long log, about 3 inches wide, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
