First, turn on the air fryer to a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes to preheat. When the dough mixture is well combined, shape the dough into a round or other preferred shape.
After preheating, place the dough on the tray and bake for the first time at 150 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Once the first baking is done, let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes, then wrap the cookie dough with plastic wrap.
Next, place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. After that, take it out, remove the dough from the refrigerator, and slice the cookies into thin pieces about 1/2 finger width.
Tip:- It is necessary to refrigerate the dough to harden it, making it easier to cut and also ensuring that the cookies will be crispier when baked a second time.
- It is advisable to use a large, sharp knife for easier cutting to avoid crumbling the cookies.
Next, place all the sliced cookies back into the air fryer for a second bake at 150 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes. Flip the cookies over and bake a third time at 150 degrees Celsius for another 5 minutes until the cookies are golden and crisp.
Tip: Since the cookies are sliced thin, they can easily burn when baking, so adjust the temperature and time according to your air fryer.

Final product
The biscotti is baked twice, crispy, delicious, and sweet. When eaten, you will taste the light sweetness from honey and the richness from various nuts. This is a nutritious snack suitable for everyone, especially those who are dieting or trying to lose weight.

- You can find oatmeal at baking supply stores, supermarkets, or buy it online on e-commerce websites.
How to distinguish matcha powder from green tea powder
- Matcha powder is a fine powder made from 100% young tea buds of the green tea plant. This powder is different from green tea powder in terms of nutritional value and price, as green tea powder is made from only 30% young tea buds and the remaining 70% from young tea leaves.
