Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Sliced almonds, lightly toasted
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the toasted sliced almonds until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a long, flat log approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti slices.
Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes per side, or until crisp and golden.
Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled biscotti using a spoon or a piping bag.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
