How to Make Almond Biscotti

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and pale yellow, forming ribbons when the whisk is lifted.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined.
4. Stir in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup slivered almonds, and ¼ cup pine nuts.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 9 inches long and ¾ inches wide.
6. Place the log onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
8. Transfer the log to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, slice it into ½-inch thick pieces.
9. Arrange the biscotti slices, cut-side down, back onto the baking sheet.
10. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
