Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (3 minutes)
03
Step
Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined. (2 minutes)
04
Step
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. (1 minute)
05
Step
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a fairly sticky dough forms. (5 minutes)
06
Step
Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each half into a log approximately 8 inches long and 1 inch high. Wetting your hands slightly will help prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
07
Step
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown. (20 minutes)
08
Step
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. This may take about 30 minutes to an hour. (30-60 minutes)
09
Step
Once cooled, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
10
Step
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices. (10 minutes)
11
Step
Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side up on the lined baking sheet. (5 minutes)
12
Step
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (16-20 minutes)
13
Step
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. The biscotti will continue to crisp up as they cool.
For variations, try adding dried fruits (such as cherries or cranberries), nuts (like walnuts or almonds), chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white), or spices (such as cinnamon) to the dough.
Experiment with different extracts, such as almond or lemon, to complement your chosen additions.
Store cooled biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
