Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Packed brown sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. If using, fold in the chopped peanuts with a spatula.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.

Step 7

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).

Step 9

Transfer the cooled logs to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.

Step 10

Place the biscotti slices back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the biscotti over and bake for 10 more minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 11

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