Start with the Best Recipe See Baking TipsBiscotti are twice-baked Italian cookies. The dough is shaped into a log, baked once until firm, sliced on a diagonal, then returned to the oven to dry out completely. That second bake is what gives biscotti their signature crunch and long shelf life. Every recipe on this page follows that same process. The ingredients and flavors change. The method does not.

What you need
2 cups all-purpose flour · 1 cup sugar · 2 large eggs · 1 tsp baking powder · ½ tsp salt · 1 tsp vanilla extract · 1 cup whole almonds
How to make it
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a stiff dough forms. Fold in the almonds.
Divide the dough into two logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, roughly 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set and lightly golden. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
Slice on a diagonal into ½-inch pieces. Lay the slices flat and return to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes per side until dry and crisp. Cool fully on a wire rack. Biscotti crisps as it cools.
