In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted salted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the dry ingredients.

Mix on low until the dough comes together, being careful not to over mix.

Fold in 1/2 cup of sliced almonds until combined.

Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough together a couple of times.

Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a rectangle measuring 5 by 3 by 1 inches.

Transfer the shaped dough to the baking sheet and brush with an egg wash made from 1 egg.

Sprinkle sugar on top of one log, leaving the other plain.

Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes until cracked and golden.

Slice the biscotti into 3/4 inch thick slices on a slight diagonal.

Place the slices cut side down on a baking sheet with space in between.
