Almond Biscotti

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup slivered almonds, chopped and toasted
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. Combine sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients. Gradually add flour mixture to sugar mixture, beating with a mixer at low speed until a dry dough forms.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 7 or 8 times. Divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a 13-inch-long roll. Place rolls on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; flatten to 1-inch thickness.
4. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20 minutes. Remove rolls from baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Cut each roll into 18 (1/2- inch) slices. Place slices, cut sides down, on baking sheet.
5. Reduce oven temperature to 300u0b0. Bake cookies 10 minutes. Turn cookies; bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet; cool completely on wire rack.
