How to Make Basic Biscotti Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in any desired additions (dried cranberries, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.).
- 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.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscotti is lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For an extra special treat, dip the bottom half of the biscotti in melted chocolate.
