Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log measuring approximately 12 inches long and 4 inches wide, ensuring it's evenly shaped.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the dough is firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 12 minutes.
Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until crisp.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
