Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Granulated sugar
  • Large eggs
  • Orange zest
  • Vanilla extract
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Ground nutmeg
  • Ground cloves
  • Almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and orange zest until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract and the ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves).
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, gently fold in the almonds.
  6. Form the dough into a log, about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide, on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the log is firm and lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for 10 minutes.
  9. Slice the log diagonally into ½-inch thick slices.
  10. Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  11. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the biscotti are dry and crisp.
  12. Cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the almonds before adding them to the dough.
  • Dunking these in hot coffee brings out the spice notes beautifully.
  • Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature.
