- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then gently fold in the sliced almonds until just combined.
- Shape the dough into two logs and place them on a lined baking sheet, pressing gently to even out thickness.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the logs are golden with firm tops.
- Remove from the oven, cool for a few minutes, then slice on a diagonal into biscotti pieces.
- Return the sliced biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crisp, flipping halfway through.
Notes
Serve biscotti in a basket with a napkin for a warm, inviting presentation. They pair wonderfully with coffee or tea, and can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Reheat in the oven if they lose crispness.
