Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Biscotti Cookies.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking until thoroughly blended.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat together butter, one cup of sugar, and olive oil until the mixture is luxuriously smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Introduce one egg to the buttery blend, mixing well, then add the second egg along with vanilla and almond extracts, whisking until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Step 5
Gently fold in both whole and chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat.
Step 8
Divide the chilled dough into two equal portions, shaping each into a log approximately 3 to 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch high, wrapping them in plastic wrap to maintain their form.
Step 9
Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is ample space between them for spreading during baking.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden hue and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Allow the logs to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
Step 12
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Step 13
With a serrated knife, cut each log at a slight angle into slices about 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
Step 14
Arrange the slices back on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 15
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12 minutes.
Step 16
Flip the biscotti and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until they achieve a delightful golden brown and crunchy texture.
Step 17
Finally, transfer the biscotti to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before indulging in their deliciousness.
Step 18
Enjoy the satisfying crunch and nutty flavor with your favorite beverage!.
