MARIETTA'S BUTTERSCOTCH BOURBON BISCOTTI



Marietta's Butterscotch Bourbon Biscotti image

These biscotti are not too sweet and easy to make. You do not have to use the bourbon but it does give it a little something extra. You can also drizzle melted butterscotch on them, but remember that will make them sweeter.

2 teaspoons vanilla
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole almonds
