Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the toasted almonds.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
• Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes on each side, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
