Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, instant coffee granules, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Bake the logs for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch and lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Lay 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 to the other side and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
