Best Biscotti Recipe

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, liqueur, and vanilla until well combined. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Divide the dough into 3 or 4 equal pieces. To each piece, add your chosen flavorings; aim for enough chunks to be noticeable but not so much that the dough won't hold its shape. If you're dividing into 4 pieces, use between ½ cup and 1 cup total per dough piece. If dividing into 3 pieces, use about 1 to 1⅓ cups total per piece.

On two parchment-lined baking sheets, shape the dough into logs. For 4 pieces, form 12 by 1½ inch logs. For 3 pieces, make them 16 by 1½ inch logs.
