Festive almond biscotti dipped in white chocolate are twice-baked Italian cookies packed with toasted almonds, dipped in creamy white chocolate, and topped with cheerful sprinkles—perfect for holiday gifting or enjoying with a hot drink.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup toasted whole or sliced almonds
  • 6 oz white chocolate or white chocolate chips (for dipping)
  • Optional toppings: festive sprinkles, crushed candy canes, chopped pistachios, dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until light and thick. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing into a sticky dough. Fold in toasted almonds.
  5. With floured hands, divide dough into two logs and place on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and set. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Slice diagonally into ¾-inch pieces using a serrated knife. Arrange cut side up on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake again for 10 minutes per side or until crisp and golden.
  9. Cool completely. Dip one end of each biscotti into melted white chocolate and add toppings before the chocolate sets.

Notes

  • Add orange zest or amaretto for extra flavor.
  • Drizzle white chocolate instead of dipping for a lighter finish.
  • Use a serrated knife and let biscotti cool slightly before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
  • Great for holiday gifting or coffee dunking.
