Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups chopped dark chocolate or 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 mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are set and slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick biscotti. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake the biscotti for 10 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes. They should feel dry and crisp.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
