Creating Homemade Biscottini is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
5. Add Almonds: Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Shape the Dough: Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 2 inches wide and 10-12 inches long. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool for about 10 minutes.
9. Slice the Logs: Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into ½-inch thick cookies.
10. Second Bake: Place the sliced cookies back on the baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
11. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and allow the Biscottini to cool completely on wire racks.
12. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
