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.
