Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing)

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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking, then divide the dough in half. Shape each portion into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the logs lightly with milk to help them achieve a golden crust during baking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into ½-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Return the sliced biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
