Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the orange zest and juice, oil, almond extract and vanilla extract, beating until blended. Sift the flour and baking powder together and add to the egg mixture, beating well. Fold in the almonds by hand. Remove the dough to plastic wrap, wrap and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the dough in half. Spray your hands lightly with nonstick cooking spray and shape each portion into a 5-by-8-inch log on the baking sheet. Bake until firm, about 25 minutes. Cool the logs on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Return the biscotti to the baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake for 15 more minutes. Cool on wire racks.
ORANGE-ALMOND BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Whisk together in a bowl the first three ingredients. Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixed in. Then add in vanilla and almond extracts. Add the zest and fold in almonds. When extras are folded in nicely, add flour mixture and let stir until just incorporated. Halve dough, place the two halves on the prepared cookie sheet, and shape each half into a flat-ish log. Pat each dough shape to smooth it (I put a little water on my hands to get these nice and smooth). Sprinkle some raw sugar on top of each dough shape. Bake the loaves for 30 minutes. Pull out of the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, and then slice each loaf into the size biscotti you want. Lay the slices flat back on the same cookie sheet. Bake for another 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Biscotti can be stored in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 3 baking sheets with waxed paper. Lightly flour waxed paper. Sift flour and baking powder into medium bowl. Beat sugar and butter in large bowl until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until fluffy. Mix in nuts and candied orange peel. Add flour mixture and liqueur; beat until well blended.
- Spoon dough out onto 1 prepared baking sheet, pressing to form 12-inch-long rectangle, about 5 inches wide (dough will be very soft). Place in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Cut chilled dough lengthwise into 3 strips. Shape each strip on lightly floured surface into 12-inch-long, 1 1/2-inch-wide and 1-inch-high log. Transfer logs to remaining 2 prepared sheets, 1 log on 1 sheet and 2 logs on second sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush logs with egg yolk. Bake until golden and firm to touch (dough will spread), about 30 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- Using serrated knife, cut logs into 3/4-inch-wide diagonal slices. Stand biscotti slices upright on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Bake until biscotti are pale golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store in airtight container.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh oranges, pure vanilla extract, and toasted almonds make all the difference.
- Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the biscotti.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
- Shape the dough into logs before baking. This will help the biscotti bake evenly.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crisp. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
