Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped walnuts.
  7. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape each part into a long log, about 12 inches in length.
  8. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between them for expansion.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  12. Transfer the cooled logs to a cutting board and using a sharp knife, slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  13. Place the slices cut-side down onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  14. Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until firm and toasted.
  15. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
