Almond Biscotti

This traditional Italian cookie is great with coffee or hot chocolate and gets an extra flavor boost with Almond Extract!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp Amoretti® Almond Extract W.S.
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped (whole almonds could also be used)

Directions

  1. Using a whisk attachment on your mixer, whip the eggs, sugar, and Almond Extract until very light (ribbon stage). About 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sift dry ingredients together.
  3. Add to egg mixture and mix just until combined. Fold in almonds.
  4. Gently form the dough into two log shapes, wrap well and freeze 2 hours or overnight.
  5. Bake in a 350°F oven for 25 minutes, turning half way through, for even baking.
  6. Take out and let the logs cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
  7. Slice diagonally and place the slices on their sides.
  8. Bake again for 10 minutes. Turn the slices over at the 5 minute mark, so each side is toasted.
  9. Cool for 15-20 minutes.
  10. The biscotti can be kept in a sealed container for up to a week.
Pair your coffee this morning with a flavorful almond biscotti!
