How To Make Authentic Italian Almond Biscotti

• Preheat your oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk three medium eggs. Add your sugar, maple syrup, extra virgin olive oil, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and milk to the bowl. Mix well. Add your all purpose flour and almond flour to the bowl and mix until a thick cookie dough is formed. Fold in the sliced almonds. Option to let the biscotti cookie dough chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to make it easier to shape.
• Scoop about half of the cookie dough onto your parchment paper and use your hands to form the biscotti dough into a log. Do this a second time with the remaining dough. Ensure the cookie dough logs are about three inches apart. Use your hands to gently press the logs to flatten them. They should be about 1 to 1 ⅕ inches in height. See images above for reference.
• Bake the dough in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the logs to cool completely. Then, use a knife to slice the logs crosswise so that each cookie is about 1 ½ inch thick. Turn the cookies onto their sides (cut side up) on the cookie sheet and return to the oven for 7 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven, flip the cookies onto the other side (cut side up), and return them to the oven for 5-7 more minutes.
• Allow them to cool completely. They will last in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. These are perfect for dipping into coffee or enjoying alongside your favorite espresso drink.
