Method
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With an electric mixer, beat butter with sugars until pale and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
- Step 2
- Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, spices and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until blended. Stir in almonds. Shape cookie dough into 2 logs and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving 3 inches (8 cm) between logs. Press lightly to flatten slightly. Bake 40 min. Remove from oven.
- Step 3
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. While still warm, slice 1/2-inch (1 cm) biscotti on the bias with a serrated knife. Place on baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 min. until lightly browned around the edges. Biscotti will firm up further as they cool.
