Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and extracts until well-blended. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into egg mixture. Stir in nuts (mixture will be stiff).
  • Divide the dough in half. Using lightly floured hands, shape each portion into a 9×2 in. rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool the biscotti in the pans on wire racks until firm. Reduce oven setting to 325°. Transfer baked rectangles to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut diagonally into ¾ in. slices. Place on a baking sheet with the cut side down.
  • Bake until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the pans to wire racks and let it cool completely.
