Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
• 0.33 cup white chocolate, melted (optional for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped dried apricots and white chocolate chips until evenly mixed.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and your hands. Place the dough onto the surface and divide it in half. Shape each half into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 7

Transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them as they will expand during baking.

Step 8

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch and lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool for about 10 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.

Step 10

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick biscotti pieces.

Step 11

Place the biscotti pieces cut-side down back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 8–10 minutes on each side until they are crisp and lightly golden.

Step 12

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 13

If desired, drizzle the cooled biscotti with melted white chocolate for extra sweetness and let it set before serving.

Step 14

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
