How to Make Almond Biscotti Quaresimale

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; add to the batter and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups whole blanched almonds.
  7. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  8. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with your hand. Brush the tops with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water).
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  12. Using a serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into ½-inch thick biscotti.
  13. Arrange the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  15. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
