| Active: | 40 min |
| Yield: | 2 dozen biscotti |
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- Grated zest from 1 orange plus 1 teaspoon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup chopped almonds or nuts of your choice
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the orange zest and juice, oil, almond extract and vanilla extract, beating until blended. Sift the flour and baking powder together and add to the egg mixture, beating well. Fold in the almonds by hand. Remove the dough to plastic wrap, wrap and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the dough in half. Spray your hands lightly with nonstick cooking spray and shape each portion into a 5-by-8-inch log on the baking sheet. Bake until firm, about 25 minutes. Cool the logs on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Return the biscotti to the baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake for 15 more minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Reviews
Very simple recipe with great results. I did not use almond extract, just more vanilla extract. Nice video as well
Have made this recipe and others. Trisha Yearwood’s version is the best. Have added mini chocolate chips, dried strawberries, lemon zest + juice, pistachios, and chopped fresh basil to make different flavors of biscotti. Sometimes drizzle icing ( depending on the type) but the best is just plain.
Made this recipe today! I love the biscotti! Not too sweet and the baking time is spot on! I will use this recipe from now on. Directions are easy to follow. Thank you!!!
I have tried several biscotti recipes—-this is by far the best! Easy and really tasty!
Crispy texture, excellent flavor. My first time making biscotti and very easy.
This was my first time making biscotti and it really was as easy as they said. I can’t wait to try other ingredients! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Simple recipe and very authentic. I used slivered almonds and cranberries. Excellent video also!
I didn’t have almond extract, so I used double vanilla & some lemon extract. I also added some culinary matcha and green spirulina for a St. Patrick’s day take… Oh boy! These are SO fantastic.
I have made about 6 different recipes, but this was the best, I added almonds and
cranberries. I also made an Orange glaze, very delicious.
Great flavor and very easy to make!
