Amaretto Biscotti
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup chocolate-covered almonds
- 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, liqueur, and almond and vanilla extracts until combined.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
- Fold in the raw and chocolate-covered almonds.
- Dust your hands and the dough with flour; divide in half and shape into two 3-by-12-inch logs on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart.
- Bake until puffed and set, about 25 minutes.
- Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cutting board.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Slice the logs crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces; arrange cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Return to the oven and bake, flipping halfway through, until dry and golden, about 45 minutes.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Place the white chocolate and semisweet chocolate in 2 small microwave-safe bowls; microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted.
- Drizzle on the biscotti; let set 30 minutes.
