How to Make American Style Vanilla Biscotti

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the optional nuts and dried fruit.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12-14 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the log cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  10. Using a serrated knife, slice the log crosswise into ½-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  11. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
