• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
11. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
12. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
13. Arrange the biscotti upright on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes.
14. Flip the biscotti over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown.
15. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
16. Store in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.
