Homemade Biscotti

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with a mixer until mostly smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a ball of dough.

Divide the dough into two and shape each one into a flattened log about eight inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake the logs for about 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges.

Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board and slice them, on a diagonal, into 1/2-inch wide pieces.

Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying flat, and bake for another 5 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet, flip them over, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before decorating with melted chocolate.
