For a richer flavor, toast the almonds before adding them to the dough. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Experiment with different extracts and nuts to customize your biscotti. Try almond extract and pistachios, or orange extract and hazelnuts. Make sure the biscotti are completely cool before storing to maintain their crispness.
