1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C, or gas mark 3).

5. Add the brown sugar and beat until glossy.
6. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture.
7. Continue to mix until the flour is well incorporated; the dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
8. Shape the dough into a round log about 8 inches (20 cm) long, flattening the top of the log slightly.

12. Carefully turn each slice over onto its side and place it cut side down on the cookie sheet.
13. Return to the oven and bake the slices for 8 minutes.
14. Turn each slice over onto the other cut side and bake for another 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned.
15. Let the biscotti cool for at least 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to the wire rack.
