Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour or regular flour if not avoiding gluten
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar or coconut sugar for a caramel note
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds optional, or any other nut of your choice
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling optional

Method
 

Prepare the Dough:
  1. Mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
  4. Fold in the almonds (optional).
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
Shape the Logs:
  1. Place each portion onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Shape each portion into a log about 9½ by 2 inches, making them about ¾ inch tall.
  3. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and smooth the tops.
  4. Refrigerate the logs for 30 minutes to firm them up.
First Bake:
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Bake the logs for 25-30 minutes or until firm with light golden edges.
  3. Let the logs cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the Logs:
  1. Use a serrated knife to slice the logs into ½-inch to ¾-inch pieces.
  2. Arrange the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet.
Second Bake:
  1. Lower the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Bake the slices for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispness.
  3. Let the biscotti cool completely on a cooling rack.
