Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. The dough will be slightly sticky, so you may want to lightly flour your hands.
Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Transfer the baked log to a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice it diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide biscuits.
Place the biscotti slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.
Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
