Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of almond flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of whole almonds, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped almonds.
- Shape the dough into a long and narrow log shape on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Place the sliced biscotti back onto the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
