How to Make Tuscan Spice And Almond Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Toast 1 cup of almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  3. Finely grind 1/3 cup of the toasted almonds in a food processor.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground almonds, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in the honey, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the remaining 2/3 cup of toasted almonds.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into two logs, approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  9. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm and lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  12. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  13. Using a serrated knife, cut each log into 3/4-inch thick slices.
  14. Arrange the biscotti slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  15. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  16. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
