Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually incorporate the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough forms.
4. Gently fold in the chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log, approximately 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are lightly browned and firm to the touch.
7. Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Then, using a serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices.
8. Return the sliced biscotti to the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
9. Once baked, let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Biscotti Del Lagaccio with a steaming cup of coffee or a chilled glass of sweet wine!
