Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole almonds toasted

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the toasted almonds.
  5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. Once cooled, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  8. Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
  9. Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
