How To Make biscotti

  • 1
    350* oven
  • 2
    Combine flour, sugar, baking powder. Slice very cold butter into flour mix. Using a fork mix together until evenly crumbly.
  • 3
    Using a spoon stir in egg whites, and vanilla, and almond extracts.
  • 4
    Fold in 1 ounce = 1/8 C of the nuts.
  • 5
    FLOUR YOUR HANDS & the counter.
  • 6
    Roll dough into logs 1 inch in diameter.
  • 7
    Press 2nd ounce ( 1/8 c.) of almonds on top of logs OR pick up each log & press into almonds on one side only. You can bake them as whole logs--- I slice each log into diagonal pieces now. This way you get the crunch w/ one baking time!
  • 8
    Place onto baking sheet. Leave space for logs or cookies to expand. Use parchment paper on top of baking sheet before placing cookies. Makes cleanup easier!
  • 9
    Bake 20 minutes if pre sliced into small cookies 30 minutes if left as whole logs. Cool 10 minutes.
  • 10
    If you baked them in log form - slice on the diagonal. This is quite messy.
  • 11
    If you baked them as logs, clear off small broken pieces of nuts & return to oven for 10 additional minutes. Biscotti should be a HARD crunchy cookie, not soft.
