Almond Biscotti instructions

Preheat oven to 350°..
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with non stick cooking spray..
In medium bowl beat butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, almond extract and baking powder until smooth and creamy..
Beat in eggs at a low speed and add the flour mixing until smooth. The dough should be sticky..

**Tip-When I take these out of the oven I like to take a spray bottle with room temperature water and spritz the sides and tops just lightly. This will soften your crust just a bit so that the biscoti slices easier.**.
Reduce oven temperature to 325°..
Wait 5 minutes after spritzing the biscotti (if you choose to use the tip) and then cut it into 1/2-3/4" slices..
Set the biscotti on its edge on the baking pan. Return to the oven and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes until they feel very dry and start to turn golden brown. Remove from oven. These will continue to dry out as they cool. You can either leave them on the baking sheet or transfer them onto a wire rack to cool.
