Biscotti

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs and 0.75 cup sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Beat in 1 tsp vanilla.

Step 4

Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Fold in 1 cup almonds until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, shape into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 25 minutes, until the log is firm and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 325°F.

Step 7

Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 10 minutes, flip slices, and bake another 10 minutes until crisp and golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
