Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup whole almonds, toasted
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon pure almond extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the toasted whole almonds and orange zest, ensuring the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log roughly 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 7

Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between them. Flatten the tops slightly with your hands.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
