Mrs. P’s Biscotti Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

1 cup white sugar

¼ cup softened butter

3 eggs

1 egg yolk

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Step 2

Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture to form a fairly sticky dough.

Step 3

Divide dough in half; with wet hands, shape dough into two loaves, about 1-inch high at the center, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes; remove to cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Slice loaves into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife. Place cookie slices back onto lined baking sheet, cut sides up.

Step 6

Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
