Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup almonds (chopped and toasted)
• 0.5 cup hazelnuts (chopped and toasted)
• 0.5 cup pistachios (chopped and toasted)
• 1 teaspoon optional: orange zest

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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and optional orange zest.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough comes together, but don't overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the toasted almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 7

Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Lightly flatten the tops of the logs with your hand.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the logs are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each log on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick biscotti. 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 on each side, flipping them halfway through, until crisp and golden.

Step 11

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