Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Slivered almonds (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon to combine until a dough forms.

Step 6

If using almonds and/or orange zest, fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between them.

Step 8

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Once slightly cooled, use a serrated knife to slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 10

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, flip each biscotti over, and bake for another 8-10 minutes (total of 16-20 minutes for the second bake) until the cookies are golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
