Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a log approximately 25 cm (10 inches) long and 6 cm (2.5 inches) wide, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 2-cm (3/4-inch) thick slices. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the same baking sheet.
Return the biscotti slices to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip them and bake for another 5 minutes to crisp up both sides.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
