Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and almond extract until thoroughly combined.
Mix in the flour mixture just until combined.
Incorporate the chopped almonds.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm.
Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
Cut the log into 1/2-inch slices with a serrated knife and arrange the slices on the baking sheet, cut side down.
Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the slices are lightly golden and crisp, flipping them halfway through.
Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.
Store the biscotti at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
