60 min 24 cookies Medium
Biscotti are classic Italian cookies that have become a global favourite. Known for their crunchy texture, they are perfect companions to a warm cup of coffee or tea. These mini almond biscotti provide the same delicious crunch, but in a more snackable size. The combination of toasted almonds and a hint of vanilla makes these biscotti irresistible.

Biscotti dough

Instructions

1

Preheat oven

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

2

Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3

Combine wet ingredients

In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

4

Form the dough

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped almonds.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to prevent tough biscotti.

5

Shape and bake

Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 25 cm (10 inches) long. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Pro tip: Logs should be about 5 cm (2 inches) apart as they will spread.

6

Cool and slice

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Slice each log into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick slices using a serrated knife.

7

Second bake

Place the slices cut side down back on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden.

Pro tip: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
