Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
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, five spice powder, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Add the toasted almonds and fold them into the dough.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the lined baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Once cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.
Step 8
Arrange the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy with your favorite hot beverage!
