Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Shape the dough into a rectangle about 3 & 1/2" wide and 3/4" tall. The dough will be a bit sticky, so dust your fingertips with a bit of flour if necessary to help you shape it.
- If desired, sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes (or until it's cool enough to handle).
- Use the parchment paper or liner to transfer the biscotti to a cutting board. Cut the biscotti into 3/4" crosswise slices.
- Line the baking sheet with a fresh sheet of parchment paper or clean silicone liner. Place the biscotti, cut side down, onto the pan.
- Bake 18 to 22 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
