Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter unsalted, melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3 Eggs large
  • 2 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt

Spices

  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ground cardamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and spices until well combined. Set aside.
    2 3/4 cup All-purpose flour, 2 tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp Kosher salt, 2 tsp Ground cinnamon, 1 tsp Ground cardamon, 1 1/2 tsp Ground ginger, 1/2 tsp Ground allspice, 1/2 tsp Ground cloves, 1/2 tsp Fresh ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
  • In a large bowl, stir together sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Add eggs and mix to combine. Add the flour mixture 1/3 at a time to the butter/egg mixture and stir until just combined.
    1 cup Sugar, 1/2 cup Butter, 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract, 3 Eggs
  • Dampen your hands and shape dough into 2 4"x10" logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg with the teaspoon of water. Brush on the egg wash.
  • Reduce the heat to 300F.
  • Bake about 30-35 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer the baking pan to a wire rack and cool for 10-15 minutes, cool enough to handle.
  • Using a very sharp, serrated knife, cut the logs into 3/4-inch slices and arrange on the baking sheet, cut side down.
  • Bake biscotti again for 25-30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
