Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Slivered almonds (toasted)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold in the toasted slivered almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape each half into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, spacing them at least 4 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are golden and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake the biscotti for an additional 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispness.

Step 11

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will become crispier as they cool.

Step 12

Serve the Honey Almond Biscotti with coffee, tea, or as a standalone treat. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
