- 2 tablespoons amaretto liquor
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 1/2 cups ground almond flour

- Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula mix everything together. (dough will be slightly sticky)
- Form two logs about 4″ long, 4″ wide and about an 1″ thick. You’ll have to mold it with your hands. Place on a prepared baking sheet. (HINT I just made to balls and then formed them into logs on the pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and gently move logs to a wire rack to cool. (15-20 minutes) Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- Once cool, slice biscotti logs into 1/2″ slices so you form “stick cookies”.
- Place the slices back on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes. (depending on how crunchy you like your biscotti) Flipping half way through.
