Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp butter melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup unsalted almonds roasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl and mix well to combine.
- Add is the melted butter, vanilla extract and one egg. Mix using a wooden spoon or a spatula.
- Add in the one remaining egg and mix again.
- Add the chopped almonds and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands so it's well combined.
- Sprinkle a little bit of flour on the parchment paper and transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Form the dough into a rectangle that's 4 inch wide and 14 to 16 inches long. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until slightly golden.
- Take the biscotti out of the oven and let it cool for 20 to 25 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut the biscotti diagonally into 1 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Return the biscotti to the oven at 350 degrees F and bake for 10 more minutes. Flip the cookies halfway through so they're crispy on both sides.

Notes
- You can use 1:1 gluten-free flour if desired.
- Instead of almonds, you can add chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, walnuts or chocolate chips.
- Biscotti cookies are supposed to be dry and firm so you can dunk them in beverages.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container lined with paper towel to absorb the moisture. You can keep them at room temperature for up to 10 days.
