Vanilla Almond Biscotti

    There's really nothing like dipping a freshly baked biscotti in your morning coffee. Today I had my chocolate chip cookie flavored coffee and one of the Vanilla Almond Biscotti that I baked after work last night. It totally made my morning!

Vanilla Almond Biscotti

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of sugar

- 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted

- 2 teaspoons of almond extract

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- 3 eggs

- 2 and 3/4 cups of flour

- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I mixed everything together by hand in the order that they are listed. (add the dry ingredients all at the same time). Once everything is completely combined, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. Prepare a cookie sheet by spraying with non-stick spray. Divide in half and shape the dough into two loaves. The size will depend on how big you want your cookies to be. Bake the loaves for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let them rest for about 10 minutes. Slice into 1/2 inch cookies and place them back onto the cookie sheet, sliced side down. Bake for about 10 more minutes.
