Almond Biscotti

Almond biscotti are buttery, soft and chewy. There is no butter in these buttery Italian flavored cookies.

These biscotti are made with ground almonds, egg whites, almond flavoring, sugar and just a little bit of flour. I roll these cookies in powdered sugar and press a whole almond in the center before baking.

Biscotti are one of my weaknesses ( I have a few ) so I always put some aside for myself , they tend to disappear quickly!!!

A few tips when you make these Almond Biscotti

Tip number one: When you make these almond biscotti be sure to grind the almonds to a fine consistency. You can use almond flour in this cookie recipe if you increase the amount by 1/2 cup.

Second: Beat the egg whites until frothy before adding the almond flavoring. Then continue beating until stiff.

Third:  Refrigerate the biscotti dough until chilled before rolling in the powdered sugar.
