List of Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped or slivered almonds, toasted
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon each: vanilla and almond extract
Pinch of salt

Steps Needed To Make Almond Biscotti:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In bowl of electric mixer, food processor, or even by hand, combine the flour, sugar, almonds, baking powder and pinch of salt.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and process or beat just until combined. The batter will be thick.

Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Divide dough in half and transfer to the cookie sheet. With floured hands, shape into 8-inch long by 1/2-inch high loaves. Sprinkle with a bit more granulated or raw sugar, if desired. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until pale golden and center of loaf is firm when touched. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack and cool.

When the loaves have cooled, place on a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices on the diagonal. Arrange cookies, cut side down, on same cookie sheet and return to oven. Bake an additional 12 to 18 minutes, until cookies are turning golden but still slightly soft. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
