Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Parchment paper
- 1 Stand or hand mixer
- 1 bowls
- 1 spoons
- 1 measuring cups, and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup butter (melted)
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Add eggs to the butter mixture. Whisk until combined.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined – do not overmix!
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it forms a ball.
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a log about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place both logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the oven off and let the biscotti cool in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing into ½ inch slices. Place the slices onto a baking sheet and bake again at 350°F (177°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Let cool completely before serving.

Notes
- For a crunchier biscotti, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- To add some sweetness, sprinkle the biscotti with sugar before baking in Step 9.
- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
- For a softer biscotti, reduce the baking time in Step 9 by 5 minutes.
- Make sure you let the biscotti cool completely before slicing and baking for the second time. This will ensure that they hold their shape during baking.
- If you like it sweet, add more sugar or a dash of honey.
- Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt – it will help balance out the sweetness.
