Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.75 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and all-purpose flour. Stir or sift together to eliminate any lumps.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, eggs, and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Fold in the sliced almonds and chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, shape the dough into two 10-inch-long logs, about 3 inches wide.
Carefully transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between them.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and slightly cracked on top. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick biscotti pieces.
Place the biscotti cut side down onto the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then flip the biscotti over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up further as they cool.
Serve with coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
