CHEF JOHN'S ALMOND BISCOTTI
My version is pretty straightforward--a classic Italian dipping cookie. But you can add hazelnuts, pistachios, and any type of dried fruit. Or dip them in dark chocolate.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
- Place butter, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, olive oil in a separate mixing bowl. Mix together thoroughly until mixture has a creamy texture. Add 1 egg; mix into butter/sugar mixture. Whisk in 2nd egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract; whisk until smooth. Add flour mixture. Mix until flour is incorporated. Add whole almonds and chopped almonds; mix in evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- Divide dough in half. Place each half on a length of plastic wrap and shape into a log. Wrap with the plastic wrap and press into a shape about 3 or 4 inches wide and about 1/2 inch high. Transfer both pieces to prepared baking sheet leaving about 3 or 4 inches of space between them to allow for spreading.
- Bake in center of preheated oven until turning golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before slicing.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Cut each piece at a slight angle into 1/2- to 1 -inch thick slices with a serrated knife. Transfer pieces back to baking sheet in a single layer. Bake 12 minutes; remove from oven and flip pieces over. Return pan to oven and bake until biscotti are golden brown and crunchy, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer biscotti to a cooling rack; let cool to room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F/165° C. Position rack in the center.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and sugars).
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add olive oil, extracts, and zest. Whisk lightly together.
- When almonds are toasted, remove them from the oven and coarsely chop.
- Add flour mixture to egg mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until just incorporated.
- Fold in chopped almonds (make sure they have cooled off before incorporating in the batter).
- Use a large serving spoon to scoop out the dough and place it on the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Add another scoop adjacent to the batter on the cookie sheet and keep going until two logs are formed.With damp fingers, shape into a log shape.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown in color and firm. Allow to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from baking sheet and transfer to a cutting board.
- Using a serrated knife, slice cookies at an angle about ½ - ¾ inch thick.
- Place slices back on the baking sheets and return them to the oven for about another 15-20 minutes (the longer they stay in the oven, the crispier they get). Turn them over at the halfway mark.
- Place on a wire rack to cool.

THE BEST ALMOND BISCOTTI
I don't know where my mother got this recipe but it produces the best biscotti I have ever had- and I am Italian so I have eaten A LOT of biscotti. Also, I will be publishing the chocolate version of this recipe which is also to die for. I've also made these with 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips and 2/4 cups hazelnuts in place of the almonds. For a sweeter variety, I have also mixed 1/2 cup almonds with 1/4 cup butterscotch chips. I have also made them plain without nuts when I've been low on ingredients. You can't mess up this recipe- it's fool-proof!.

Steps:
- Adjust rack to center position and heat the oven to 350 degree. Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nuts in a large bowl and stir to combine. In a small bowl combine the eggs, butter and vanilla and whisk to fully combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix to combine until a rough dough forms.
- Dump the dough onto a work surface and knead a couple of times until the dough comes together, adding extra flour sparingly and only if necessary. Start to form the dough into a big, fat cigar and cut it in half. Form each half into a cigar about 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide and about 12 inches long. Place them onto the cookie sheet and lightly press with fingers to slightly flat cigars.
- Bake for 25 minutes reversing the pan halfway through. The bars will be firm to the touch and just slightly browned. Remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 300 degrees. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
- Remove cookies to a cutting board using two spatulas. Using a serrated knife, slice the bars on an angle about 1/2 inch tick to form the biscotti. Lay them back on the cookie sheet with either cut side down and place back in oven for 15 minutes. Turn each cookie to expose the other cut side and place in oven for another 15 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature. Place cookies in an airtight container.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ALMOND BISCOTTI
These biscotti are bursting with flavor from layers of chocolate and toasted almonds! They always garner high praise and are easier to make than you'd think. I always turn to these biscotti to add an extra special touch to my holiday cookie tray.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the butter with 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth and melted. Set aside to cool.
- Place the eggs, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla and instant coffee in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed until pale and thickened, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and cocoa in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Stop the mixer and add the warm melted chocolate and butter. Mix on medium speed until smooth and combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, mix in the almonds and another 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips until combined.
- Dip your hands in cold water to make the dough easier to handle. Divide and shape the dough into two logs; then flatten each to 12 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1 inch tall. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the logs are firm to the touch and sound hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep the oven on. Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes, then remove to a cutting board and slice crosswise with a serrated knife 3/4 inch thick. You should have about 24 biscotti.
- Return the biscotti to the parchment-lined baking sheet, standing each up (with its longest skinny side down). Bake until the centers feel firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet, then lay the biscotti on their sides.
- Microwave the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15- to 20-second increments, stirring until smooth and melted. Transfer to a pastry bag (or heavy-duty sandwich bag and snip off a tiny tip); drizzle the chocolate over the cooled biscotti. Enjoy immediately or let set before serving or storing. You can store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

ALMOND BISCOTTI
After many years of experimentation, I think these are the best biscotti I've ever made. They are nice and dry and crunchy the way real biscotti should be - they are not cookie-like like many you buy in the store these days. They are perfect for dipping, they have a long shelf-life, they are delicious and flavorful. My toddler LOVES them and even asks for them before bed with a cup of milk for dipping. Another great recipe from Alice Medrich.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F.

- Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, amaretto (if using, or the almond extract and rum), vanilla and anise extracts in your mixer until well blended.

- Scrape the dough out onto a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Flour your hands and shape into a long flat loaf about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide.
- This will be kind of messy, so don't worry about how neat it is, just try to get it in that general shape.
- Bake until firm and dry, about 50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool 10 minute.
- Use a long serrated knife and slice into 1/2-inch wide slices.
- Lay the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake another 20 minutes.
