Ingredients

• 210 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 85 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 120 grams Shelled unsalted pistachios, coarsely chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the coarsely chopped pistachios until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. The dough will be sticky, so use damp hands or a spatula to help shape it.

Step 8

Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch and lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 10

Once the log is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti slices.

Step 11

Arrange the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the baking time, until they are dry and crisp.

Step 12

Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
