Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.75 cup Whole almonds, toasted and chopped

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 flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture has a sandy texture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 5

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough begins to form.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted and chopped almonds, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 8

Bake the log in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the log from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 10

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

Step 11

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 12

Flip the slices over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until both sides are golden and crisp.

Step 13

Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
