   • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add Extract and Dry Ingredients:

   • Gradually add the almond extract and then incorporate the flour and baking powder into the mixture. Knead until a soft, uniform dough forms.

3. Divide Dough:

   • Divide the dough in half.

4. Form Dough into Logs:

   • Turn out each portion of dough onto a well-greased cookie sheet, shaping them into logs approximately 9 inches long. Gently press down to flatten slightly.

5. Brush with Milk and Bake:

   • Brush the tops of the dough logs with milk to give them a golden finish. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 20 minutes, until they’re lightly golden.

6. Slice Biscotti:

   • Remove the baked logs from the oven and, using a serrated knife, cut them into 1/2-inch diagonal slices. Lay the slices flat side down on the cookie sheet.

7. Bake Again:

   • Return the sliced biscotti to the oven and bake until they turn light gold in color. This second baking ensures they achieve the perfect crunch.

8. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked to perfection, allow the biscotti to cool completely. Then, serve and enjoy with your favorite beverage, perhaps a steaming cup of coffee or tea.

9. Storage Tip:

   • These biscotti freeze exceptionally well, so feel free to make a big batch and store them for later enjoyment. Just make sure they’re fully cooled before storing in an airtight container.
