GF Fig and Almond Biscotti

Thanks to my dear friend Alicia for teaching me how to make these! They make a yummy treat or a great little gift. All you need is:

3 cups gluten free self rising flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup chopped almonds
1 cup chopped dried and pitted figs

Baking Instructions Preheat oven to 325F

Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Mix ingredients in a large bowl Gather dough together and divide in 3 on prepared sheet. Shape each portion into a 2-in.-wide and 3/4-in.-high log. Place logs few inches apart.

Bake for 30 – 35 minutes until almost firm but still golden brown.

Remove from oven and let stand until loaves are cool enough to touch. Cut each diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange sliced biscotti on baking sheet, cut-side down. Continue baking until very firm and golden brown, 20 – 30 more minutes.
