Almond Biscotti

I have made this almond biscotti many times in the past year. Everyone loves it. Our small group loves it. My kids love it. My husband and I tell my kids they can only have one so there is more for us and our coffee because we love it. You get the picture. The original recipe is from Smitten Kitchen, and it is posted below with just a few tiny changes.

3 1/4 c flour
1 T baking powder
1/3 t salt
1 1/2 c sugar
10 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs
1 T vanilla extract
1 T orange juice
zest from one orange
1 c sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.
Mix remaining ingredients except almonds in large bowl.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well blended. Add in almonds.
Divide dough in half and shape each into a log (about 13 1/2 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide) on the pan using floured hands. Space the two logs apart on the baking sheet as they will spread.
Bake 30 min until golden brown.
Cool completely, about 25 min.
Cut into 1/2 inch strips using a serrated knife.
Arrange slices, cut side down, on baking pan (no parchment paper). Bake for 12 min, flip and bake 8 more min.
