Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds, walnuts)
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form. If using nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit, fold them in at this stage.

Step 5

Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Divide the dough into two equal portions.

Step 6

Shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the logs are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 9

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip the biscotti and bake for another 5-10 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
