Whole Wheat Almond Biscotti
- 250 grams (approximately 2 cups) whole wheat flour
- 60 grams (approximately 2/3 cup) almond flour
- 5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) baking powder
- 18 teaspoon (pinch) of salt
- 125 grams (approximately 2/3 cup, tightly packed) organic brown sugar
- 165 grams (3 large) eggs
- 5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- 100 grams almonds, toasted and chopped (approximately 3/4 cup chopped)
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a whisk or electric beater, beat together the sugar and eggs for 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beaters.
- Add the vanilla and beat for another minute.
- Turn off the mixer, scrape down the bowl and beaters, and add the flour mixture.
- Mix in at low speed until combined.
- The batter will be sticky.
- Add the almonds and mix until well combined.
- Using a spatula or a bowl scraper, scrape out half the batter onto the baking sheet.
- Moisten your hands so the dough wont stick, and form a log, about 12 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide.
- Repeat with the other half of the batter.
- The logs can be on the same baking sheet but make sure there is at least two inches of space between them.
- Place in the oven and bake 50 minutes, until lightly browned and dry.
- Remove from the oven and let sit on a rack for 20 minutes (or longer).
- Place the logs on a cutting board and slice thin, about 1/3 inch, either straight across the logs (for more, but smaller biscotti) or on the diagonal (for more traditionally shaped biscotti).
- Place the cookies on baking sheets and return one sheet at a time to the middle rack of the oven.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- Flip the cookies over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until hard and lightly browned.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
