Biscotti Di Prato Crunchy Almond Biscuits

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and almond extract together until smooth.

4. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

5. Gently fold in the whole almonds until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake the logs in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and set.

8. Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.

9. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch slices.

10. Place the biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

11. Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
