Let’s be honest: most store-bought biscotti are glorified jawbreakers. Not these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These classic almond biscotti are crunchy but not tooth-shattering, lightly sweet, and absolutely perfect for dunking. They’re twice-baked, which sounds fancy, but really just means you get a cookie that stays crisp for weeks. No stand mixer needed. No weird ingredients. Just butter, sugar, almonds, and a little patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes about 24 biscotti.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd teaspoon almond extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (120g) whole raw almonds, lightly toasted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Heat Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Mix Dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Mix Wet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and almond extract until combined.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Combine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pour dry ingredients into wet. Stir with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fold in the toasted almonds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Shape First Log<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Divide dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each half into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking\u2014the dough is sticky by design.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: First Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Bake logs for 25 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. Don’t turn off the oven\u2014reduce heat to 325\u00b0F (160\u00b0C).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Slice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Transfer logs to a cutting board. Use a serrated knife to slice each log diagonally into \u00bd-inch thick cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Place slices cut-side down back on the baking sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: Second Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Bake for 10 minutes, flip each biscotti, then bake another 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
They should be golden, dry, and lightly browned at the edges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 9: Cool and Crunch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Let biscotti cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Dip one in your coffee. Smile. You did it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Room temperature:<\/strong> In an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. They actually get better after day one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Freezer:<\/strong> Freeze baked biscotti for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter\u2014no need to reheat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Do not refrigerate biscotti. The fridge introduces moisture and ruins the crunch. These are dry-storage cookies only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
