Almond Biscotti

almonds

all purpose flour

baking powder

salt

sugar

brown sugar

eggs (room temperature)

olive oil

almond extract

vanilla extract

lemon zest

Preheat oven to 325° F. Position rack in the center.

Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast in oven for about 12-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and sugars).

In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add olive oil, extracts, and zest. Whisk lightly together.

When almonds are toasted, remove from oven and coarsely chop.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add flour mixture to egg mixture; stir with wooden spoon until just incorporated.

Fold in chopped almonds (make sure they have cooled off before incorporating in the batter).

Use a large serving spoon to scoop out the dough and place it on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Add another scoop adjacent to the batter on the cookie sheet and keep going until two logs are formed.With damp fingers, shape into a log shape.

Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown in colour and firm. Allow to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.

Remove from baking sheet and transfer to cutting board.

Using a serrated knife, slice cookies at an angle about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick.

Place slices back on the baking sheets, and return them to the oven for about another 15 - 20 minutes (the longer they stay in the oven, the crispier they get). Turn them over at the half way mark.

Place on a wire rack to cool.

Truly perfect biscotti! Instead of 1 C almond I did 1 C of almond/walnut/pecan, upped the 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to 1 tsp, and added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Baked it for ~18 mins, let it cool 20 mins, then cut it and let it bake on each side for ~12 mins. Probably will make this every weekend!

I cooked on convection for 20 minutes and they came out amazing.  ( I added 1/2 tsp anise ) dough came together fine.  I did double the recipe though.  I even put cranberries in one of the loafs. Great recipe!!

This recipe is perfect!..as is!!  My only change is that I didn't oil the pan with parchment. I use Silpat on my cookie sheets and I was a bit concerned that I might have an issue with it sticking without fat in the recipe and not spraying my Silpat. But I decided not to spray them and they came out beautiful! The batter is wet compared to other cookie dough but it is a perfect biscotti dough! I just got a new Espresso machine, and a jar of these will be on my counter...always! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!! <3

Hi I made these today never put brown sugar in my biscotti! They needed much more time in the oven than 15 min even after 25 min ! Glad to see I wasn’t the only one!

Very good recipe!  I did find I needed another couple minutes on the first bake.  Could be my oven though. It is a wet dough.  Shape it on the oiled parchment, as someone else said.  Easy peasy.

Very good! Dough was wet, just split it in two on well oiled parchment and formed into an even shape. Baked about 18 mins, next time might turn heat down or double pan but the center was cooked for me (also let cool before cutting) 
Used pecans and vanilla instead of almond. Very pleased with final product!

Love this recipe, so easy. The dough is wet, but just need to form it on the oiled pan with a spatula, no need to overthink it. 
I exchanged pumpkin seeds and vanilla extract for the almonds and almond extract🙌🏻
