    Crunchy biscotti are my go-to coffee dunkers. The sweet toasts make a perfect hostess or holiday gift besides. This recipe features almonds but pecans or hazelnuts would be fine, with vanilla extract in place of almond.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 7/8 cup granulated sugar (1/2 cup + 1/3 cup will work)
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract
    • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 cup chopped almonds (I used slivered)

    Directions

    1. NOTE: An electric stand mixer is ideal for making this because the dough is very thick.
    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet and set aside.
    3. In large mixing bowl beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extract.
    4. In a smaller bowl stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and cardamom.
    5. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream to butter mixture in 3 or 4 increments each; stir in almonds.
    6. Divide dough in half; shape each portion into a ball. Roll each ball into a 15-inch log on the baking sheet arranging the rolls 4 or 5 inches apart.lengthwise on it.
    7. Bake 30 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to touch.
    8. Carefully transfer to cutting board and cut at a 45 degree angle with sharp knife into 1/2-inch slices.
    9. Place slices cut-side down on baking sheet.and bake for 5 minutes ON EACH SIDE or til lightly browned. Remove to wire rack to cool completely. (I cut and bake 1 log slices at a time.)
    10. Yield: about 40 biscotti.
