Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal portions.
Shape each portion into a flat log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each log diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick biscotti pieces.
Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven.
Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, flipping the biscotti halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
