Total time: 
Serves: makes about 4 dozen cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides as needed, until fully incorporated. Beat in almond extract.
  4. Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until fully combined. Mix in almonds.
  5. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, divide in half and use your hands to roll each half into a 16 x 2 inch log. Flatten slightly and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet, a couple inches apart.
  6. Bake logs for 25 minutes until they are slightly firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300F.
  7. Once logs have cooled, transfer them to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to cut into ½ inch slices on the diagonal. Transfer cookies back to baking sheet with cut side down (no parchment paper needed this time) and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until biscotti are lightly browned. Let cool completely before serving.
