How to Make Chocolate-Dipped Almond Biscotti
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
Beat the eggs with the vanilla and almond extracts in another bowl until well combined.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients gradually, stirring until just mixed.
Fold in the toasted sliced almonds.
Shape the dough into two logs, each about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the logs are golden brown.
Let them cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Bake the sliced biscotti cut side down for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and optional vegetable oil together.
Dip one end of each biscotti into the melted chocolate.
Set the dipped biscotti on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Serve your Chocolate-Dipped Almond Biscotti with coffee or tea.
For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar after dipping.
