Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.3333 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios (roughly chopped)
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in small batches, mixing until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Fold in the chopped pistachios and chocolate chips with a spatula until distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Divide the dough in half. With lightly floured hands, shape each half into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they feel firm to the touch and begin to crack slightly on the surface. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
