Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
-
Gently fold in the jelly beans, being careful not to overmix as you don't want to break the jelly beans apart.
-
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide. Use a little flour on your hands if needed to prevent sticking.
-
Bake the log in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until it is set and slightly golden brown.
-
Remove the log from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
-
Using a sharp knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
-
Place the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.
-
Once baked, let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
