Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract
- 3/4 cup Whole almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter together until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the chopped almonds.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly browned.
Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the logs to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, cut them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Place the slices cut side down back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
