Indulge in a crispy and flavorful snack with this Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti recipe. These double-baked treats are perfect for dipping in your favorite hot beverage or enjoying on their own. The combination of cinnamon and sugar creates a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon, for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
  5. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the logs.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Using a serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the biscotti are crisp and golden.
  8. Let the biscotti cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
