Instructions
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325* and place rack in center of oven.
Toast almonds for 12 - 15 minutes.
Whisk together dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add oil, extracts, and zest and whisk lightly.
When almonds are cool, roughly chop.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture. Stir until just incorporated.
Fold in almonds.
First Bake (cooks the loaves)
Make two loaves by scooping half of dough onto one side of a baking sheet. Scoop second half of dough onto the other side of the baking sheet. Form into loaves.
Bake for at least 30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Cool for 10 minutes.
Second Bake (crisps the individual biscotti)
Slice into ½ - 3/4 “ thick slices and place back onto baking sheet. A serrated knife and a cutting board works perfectly.
Bake for additional 15 - 20 minutes, or until desired crispiness. Turn them over halfway through baking.
Cool on a wire rack. Store in sealed container at room temp for 3 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
