Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Slivered almonds
• 0.5 cup Optional: Melted chocolate (for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. It will be sticky but cohesive.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each portion into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Flatten the tops slightly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until both sides are golden and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 11

Optional: Dip one end of each biscotti in melted chocolate and let them set on parchment paper before serving.

Step 12

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
