Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.75 cup dried blueberries
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Step 5

Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the dried blueberries and, if using, the sliced almonds.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log approximately 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. Flatten the top slightly with your hands or a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until it is lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.

Step 10

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet, then return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 8–10 minutes on each side, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden.

Step 11

Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
