How to Make Susanna's Orange Almond Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 2 tablespoons orange extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups slivered almonds.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper. Shape into two long loaves (about 12 inches long and 1 ½ inches wide) or three shorter loaves.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Place loaves onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  10. Let cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Using a serrated knife, cut each loaf into ¾-inch thick slices.
  13. Arrange the slices, cut-side down, on baking sheets, leaving a little space between them.
  14. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  15. Let cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
