📝 Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter until well incorporated.
- Stir in the Kahlua and anise extract to infuse the mixture with rich flavors.
- Beat in the egg and then gently fold in the chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms.
- Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for about three hours to firm it up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) in preparation for baking.
- Shape the chilled dough into three loaves, each approximately 2 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick.
- Place the shaped loaves onto a greased cookie sheet, ensuring they are well spaced to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake the biscotti in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they turn a golden brown hue.
- Allow the biscotti to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the sliced biscotti on their cut sides and return them to the oven for an additional 8 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned and crisp.
- Once baked to perfection, transfer the biscotti to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
👩🍳 Chef’s Tips:
- For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled biscotti and allow it to set before serving.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture and preserve their flavors for longer.
