Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours
Servings 20 people

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs uova
  • 3/4 Cup Sugar zucchero
  • 2 tsp. vanilla vaniglia
  • 2 1/2 Cups sifted flour farina
  • 2 tsp. baking powder lievito in polvere
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda lievito soda
  • pinch of salt sale
  • 3/4 Cup slivered almonds mandorle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F
  2. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until creamy and fluffy
  3. In separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda
  4. Add in the egg mixture, almonds and vanilla and knead the dough
  5. When done, shape into 1 or 2 logs on a greased baking sheet. Parchment paper is good too and makes for easy clean up.
  6. Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes then remove and slice to size
  7. Return them to the oven and bake for 30 minutes more
  8. Reduce heat to 275°F and bake a final 30 minutes (I'm assuming the reduction in heat keeps them from burning or over cooking and helps them dry out).
  9. Serve plain or dip in chocolate and serve

Recipe Notes

Tip#1 : Cool on cookie racks.

Tip #2: If dipping in chocolate, make life simpler by using store bought chocolate dipping sauce for fruit. Otherwise, melt chocolate chips over the stove with a little bit of milk. But if you use too much milk it will make the biscotti soggy.

Tip #3: These are great for parties or holidays such as Christmas.
