Almond Biscotti
Description
Biscotti is a traditional Italian cookie made by shaping the dough into logs, baking them, letting them cool slightly, and then baking them again in slices.
Almond biscotti has a crispy, crunchy texture that comes from almond pieces. Dunk it in a hot cup of coffee or tea for crunchy and more delectable flavor!

Instructions:
-
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 325F (165 C). Line baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
-
Step 2:
In a bowl beat butter and sugar together. Then beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
-
Step 3:
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter mixture using a spatula.
-
Step 4:
Fold in the almonds and mix. Knead the dough a couple of times and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a log and place it on the prepared baking sheet about 3 inches (8cm) apart from each other.
-
Step 5:
Lightly press the dough with fingers. (Dough should be slightly flattened). Bake for about 30 minutes, or until slightly browned. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
-
Step 6:
Using a serrated knife, slice the bars on an angle about 1/2 inch thick to form the biscotti. Lay them back on the baking sheet with either cut side down and place back in the oven for 15 minutes.
-
Step 7:
Turn each cookie to expose the other cut side and place them in the oven for another 15 minutes. Allow them to cool completely and place them in an airtight container. Pair them with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
