Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.75 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and work it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a stiff dough forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the sliced almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a flat log, about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet with space between them.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes, just enough to handle them safely.

Step 10

Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick biscotti pieces.

Step 11

Lay the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven.

Step 12

Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, flipping the biscotti halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 13

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