Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in almonds.
• Shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
• Place the biscotti slices, cut-side down, back onto the baking sheet. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
• Let cool completely before serving.
