105 grams granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
45 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed (3 tablespoons)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pistachio flavoring
100 grams white chocolate chips  (3 1/2 ounces, or about 1/2 cup)
70 grams pistachios (1/2 cup)

Method:

Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C. Line a half-sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt.

With a gentle sawing motion, use a serrated knife to cut each log on the diagonal, creating 3/4-inch wide slices.

Place the slices upright on the parchment-lined tray and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until dry and lightly golden on top.

Once cool, melt the white chocolate in the microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Allow biscotti to sit at room temperature, uncovered, until white chocolate has set. Serve immediately.

Store leftover biscotti in an airtight container, layered between sheets of parchment, for up to three days. Leftover biscotti can also be frozen, and will thaw very quickly at room temperature.
