Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cups natural almonds, toasted and chopped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl with an electric mixer mix together the flour, espresso powder, cinnamon, baking soda and powder, sugar, salt and orange zest. In a small bowl beat together the eggs and vanilla. Add them all at once to the dry ingredients and beat until a dough is formed. Stir in almonds.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and form it into a ball. Halve it and form each half into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Arrange logs on a buttered and floured baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
- Bake logs in the middle of oven for 40 minutes or until they are firm all over and browned. Remove them from the oven, let cool for a few minutes. On a cutting board slice logs on a diagonal about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices back on baking sheet and bake them for approximately 10 minutes on each side or until golden throughout.
- Cool biscotti to room temperature. Store them in an airtight container in single layers between waxed paper for up to 2 weeks.
