# Ingredient List:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
08 - 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

→ Topping (Optional)

09 - 2 tablespoons coarse sparkling sugar
10 - 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted for drizzling

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended.
03 - Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 2–3 minutes.
04 - Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla and almond extract until smooth.
05 - Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
06 - Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a 12-inch by 2-inch log.
07 - Place logs on prepared baking sheet, spaced apart. Flatten slightly and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 25–28 minutes until lightly golden and set. Cool for 10 minutes.
08 - Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut logs diagonally into 3/4-inch slices.
09 - Arrange slices cut side down on baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 10–12 minutes until crisp and golden throughout.
10 - Cool completely on wire rack. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired. Allow chocolate to set before serving.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The texture walks that perfect line between tender cookie and crunchy biscotti
  • They ship beautifully for holiday care packages
  • The double bake means you can make them days ahead without losing quality
02 -
  • Let the logs cool for exactly 10 minutes after the first bake—too warm and they crumble, too cool and they shatter
  • A sharp serrated knife is nonnegotiable for clean diagonal slices
  • The second bake time depends on your oven—start checking at 10 minutes
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from seizing when mixing
  • Coarse sugar on top adds professional sparkle and extra crunch
  • Use a gentle sawing motion when slicing—pressing down will crush the cookies
