By coincidence, you’ll find biscotti are built for coffee and for dunking, so you can make a batch that fits your taste. Pick a base—almond, chocolate, or something spicier—mix dry and wet ingredients, shape logs, bake, slice, then bake again until crisp. These 14 recipes cover classics and twists like pistachio-rose and maple-pecan, with tips on timing and mix-ins to help you get the right crunch and flavor, and here’s how to start.

Classic Almond Biscotti

Classic almond biscotti — crisp, dunkable twice-baked treats that pair perfectly with coffee.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional for extra almond flavor)
  • 1 cup (120 g) whole almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • Zest of 1 small orange or lemon (optional, for brightness)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or 2 tbsp neutral oil)

How to Make:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs with vanilla, almond extract (if using), melted butter, and zest.
  4. Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Fold in the toasted chopped almonds evenly.
  6. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a log about 12 inches long and 2–3 inches wide. Transfer to the prepared sheet.
  7. Bake 25–30 minutes, until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes.
