Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the toasted and chopped almonds, and mix to combine.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well mixed.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two equal portions. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each portion into a log about 10 inches long, 2 inches wide, and about 1 inch tall. Space the logs at least 3 inches apart as they will spread during baking.

Step 6

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center feels set to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly.

Step 8

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lay the slices cut side down back onto the baking sheet.

Step 9

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Flip the biscotti slices over and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until they are dry and golden.

Step 10

Remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 11

Serve with coffee, tea, or enjoy as a delicious snack anytime. Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
