THE BEST ALMOND BISCOTTI RECIPE - FOOD.COM
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!.

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.

CHEF JOHN'S ALMOND BISCOTTI RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
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.

- 1) Position oven racks in the middle and top of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. 2) On a separate baking sheet, add the almonds and make sure to spread them in one single layer, toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes or until they have toasted up a bit and they are a lovely golden brown color, allow them to cool a bit and chop them roughly. 3) In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt and baking powder to combine, set aside. 4) In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the sugar and butter, add the eggs, almond extract and make sure it?s a nice creamy mixture once everything is incorporated. 5) Add the dry ingredients and mix until it's well incorporated. Add the whole toasted almonds and mix them in well. 6) Dump the dough onto a heavily floured board and divide into 3 equal portions. Roll each piece into a log that?s about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, make sure to dust with flour along the way to keep dough from sticking. Set the logs about 4 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet, press gently to flatten each log just a little with the tips of your fingers. Bake until the logs are golden and firm near the center, about 35 to 40 minutes or until they are lightly golden but still soft making sure you are rotating the baking sheets half way through to insure even baking. 7) Let the logs cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Transfer logs to a cutting board, using a serrated knife, slice them on a sharp diagonal into about 3/4 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets, laying cut side down. Return to oven and bake for 7 minutes. Turn the cookies over and rotate the baking sheets and bake for another 7 minutes or until golden and lightly browned. 8) Let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (The cookies will not harden until totally cooled) Enjoy!
