Chef John's Almond Biscotti Italian Dessert

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup almonds, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the chopped almonds and mix until they are evenly distributed in the dry mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
  5. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. It might be sticky, but that’s okay!
  6. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
  8. Once cooled slightly, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  9. Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake again for 10-15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are crisp and lightly golden.
  10. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.

These Almond Biscotti make for a perfect snack or dessert, especially when paired with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy the delightful crunch and the nutty flavors of these homemade treats!
