Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the espresso powder and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and blend until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped nuts.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch and lightly golden.
- Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, carefully slice each log diagonally into 1-inch thick slices.
- Lay the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut side up, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp.
- Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade Espresso Biscotti with a cup of coffee or tea!
