Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large eggs divided
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (105g) almonds raw, unsalted, and roughly chopped
- 6 ounces (170g) dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk for the eggwash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350f and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until a rough dough is formed.
- Add the almonds to the dough and mix with your hands until the almonds are well combined and a dough ball is formed. The dough will be sticky.
- On a floured work surface, cut the dough in half and use your hands to shape each piece into a log roughly 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick.
- Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash, then use a pastry brush to wash the mixture onto the tops of the logs.
- Bake the logs in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Drop the oven temperature down to 275f.
- Transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice them into 3/4-inch slices. Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for another 25 minutes until lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely, then melt the chocolate over a double boiler and dip one end of the biscotti into the chocolate, or use a pastry brush to brush the chocolate onto the biscotti, and place on a baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing. Enjoy!
Notes
- The biscotti dough will be very sticky. If it's too sticky to handle, add a little flour at a time, and keep your hands floured while shaping the dough.
- Allow the chocolate to set on the biscotti before serving or storing. To speed up the process, you can place the biscotti in the refrigerator.
- This recipe was written for a conventional oven. For convection ovens, reduce the temperature by 25 degrees and begin checking for doneness at the 75% mark.
- Almond biscotti can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks.
