Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixer fitted with a paddle, mix the butter and sugar until well blended.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, salt and baking powder and then add to the butter mixture slowly until just incorporated.
  4. Add in almonds and hazelnuts.
  5. With floured hands, shape the dough into skinny logs and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake at 350° until golden and firm to touch, about 20-30 minutes.
  7. Let cool and slice into 1/2” thick slices, lay flat on same baking sheet and bake at 325° for 10-12 minutes.

You can add whatever ingredients you want to make variations. Keep fruits small so they do not rip the Biscotti when cutting it before the final baking.
