Instructions

Oven temperature 350°F (175°C).
Cream together butter, sugar, orange rind and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly begin adding the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture until well combined.
Slowly add the beaten eggs and Amaretto. Gently add the sliced almonds and mix well.
Place the dough on a floured worktop and shape into a long flat log shape about 4" wide and the length of the cookie sheet. (I used a silicone mat so the biscotti do not stick, but you can use parchment paper if you don't have one.)
Bake in preheated oven about 45 minutes (turn once during baking), or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool slightly, then cut ½" slices at a slight angle (if you'd like longer cookies) using a serrated knife.
Place cut side down back on the cookie sheet and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
