Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 units large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, instant espresso powder, and salt until combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions and shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them as they will expand during baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10–12 minutes on one side, then flip them over and bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until dry and crisp.

Step 10

Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, melt white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler and dip one end of each biscotti into the melted chocolate. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Step 11

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
