Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until dough forms.
- Step 3: Fold in 3/4 cup chopped toasted almonds and 1/2 cup white chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
- Step 4: Divide dough in half and shape each half into a 12-inch long, 2-inch wide log on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 5: Bake logs for 25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Step 6: Using a serrated knife, cut logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lay biscotti cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Step 7: Bake biscotti for an additional 12 minutes, flip slices, and bake another 12 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Step 8: Cool completely, then dust 1/4 cup powdered sugar over the biscotti to resemble freshly fallen snow.
