Serves: 24-30
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • heaping ½ cup chopped pitted dates (about 8-10)
  • heaping ½ cup chopped toasted almonds
  • 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Whisk together the first 4 ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt). In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and almond together extract until well combined and then add in the chopped pitted dates and chopped toasted almonds and stir.
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients with your hands, just until combined, adding up to 2 tablespoons of water if the dough is crumbly.
  4. Divide the dough into two, and transfer it to a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Form the two dough balls into 3 inch wide, ¾ inch tall logs.
  5. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, and then let the logs cool for 20 minutes on a wire rack.
  6. After they have fully cooled, cut the logs into ½ inch slices and arrange the cut side down back on baking sheet. Make sure to use a serrated knife, and if you have trouble slicing the middle of the loaf (which is a bit softer), try cutting larger slices.
  7. Bake the biscotti for 7 minutes on each side, and then let them cool on a wire rack.
