Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.75 cup dried cherries
- 0.5 cup semisweet 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 all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the dried cherries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
Place the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip them over and bake for 10 more minutes, or until crisp and dry.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
