Mix dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, add 4 to 6 tablespoons of butter and white sugar; beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

Add 2 eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter and sugar mixture; beat until well combined.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Add almonds to the dough and mix until combined.

Divide the dough in half and form each half into a log shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 3/4 inch high.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the logs for 25 to 30 minutes until set and slightly golden.

Allow the logs to cool completely, then use a serrated knife to slice them into biscotti pieces.

Stand the biscotti upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake again at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and dry.

Melt chopped semi-sweet chocolate over a double boiler until smooth.

Dip each biscotti about 1/3 of the way into the melted chocolate and place them in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate sets.
