THE BEST ALMOND BISCOTTI



The Best Almond Biscotti image

I don't know where my mother got this recipe but it produces the best biscotti I have ever had- and I am Italian so I have eaten A LOT of biscotti. Also, I will be publishing the chocolate version of this recipe which is also to die for. I've also made these with 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips and 2/4 cups hazelnuts in place of the almonds. For a sweeter variety, I have also mixed 1/2 cup almonds with 1/4 cup butterscotch chips. I have also made them plain without nuts when I've been low on ingredients. You can't mess up this recipe- it's fool-proof!.

Time 1h20m

Yield 28 biscotti, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Adjust rack to center position and heat the oven to 350 degree. Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nuts in a large bowl and stir to combine. In a small bowl combine the eggs, butter and vanilla and whisk to fully combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix to combine until a rough dough forms.
  • Dump the dough onto a work surface and knead a couple of times until the dough comes together, adding extra flour sparingly and only if necessary. Start to form the dough into a big, fat cigar and cut it in half. Form each half into a cigar about 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide and about 12 inches long. Place them onto the cookie sheet and lightly press with fingers to slightly flat cigars.
  • Bake for 25 minutes reversing the pan halfway through. The bars will be firm to the touch and just slightly browned. Remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 300 degrees. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
  • Remove cookies to a cutting board using two spatulas. Using a serrated knife, slice the bars on an angle about 1/2 inch tick to form the biscotti. Lay them back on the cookie sheet with either cut side down and place back in oven for 15 minutes. Turn each cookie to expose the other cut side and place in oven for another 15 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature. Place cookies in an airtight container.

My version is pretty straightforward--a classic Italian dipping cookie. But you can add hazelnuts, pistachios, and any type of dried fruit. Or dip them in dark chocolate.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the nuts. Freshly chopped nuts will give your biscotti the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape.
  • Slice the biscotti thinly. Thick biscotti will be difficult to chew.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crisp. Underbaked biscotti will be soft and chewy, while overbaked biscotti will be hard and dry.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their crisp texture.

Conclusion:

Biscotti are a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed with coffee, tea, or dessert. They are also a great gift. With a little practice, you can make perfect biscotti at home. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
