Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole almonds
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Granular sugar substitute (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the whole almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then roughly chop the nuts.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, almond extract, and vanilla extract together using a mixer until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the granular sugar substitute to the egg mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Slowly mix in the dry ingredients, a little at a time, until the dough starts to come together.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped almonds with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Divide the dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 9

Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm and golden brown.

Step 11

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

Step 12

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

Step 13

Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even baking, until the biscotti are crisp and golden.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
