How to Make Espresso Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer until a soft dough forms.
  5. Stir in 1 cup toasted, slivered almonds.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
  7. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  8. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches between them.
  9. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  11. Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  12. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  13. Bake for 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
