Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Fold in the chopped cherries and almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide, making sure to space them apart as they will spread during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown and set.
-
Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
-
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the logs into 1-inch thick slices on the diagonal. Place the biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut side down.
-
Bake the biscotti for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
-
Allow the Cherry Nut Biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying or storing in an airtight container.
