Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoons Orange zest (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing it with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough starts to form.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and orange zest if using, ensuring these ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lightly flour a clean surface and shape the dough into a 10-inch long log, about 3 inches wide.
Transfer the log onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until firm to the touch.
Remove the log from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
Transfer the log to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Place the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Flip the slices over and bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and dry.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
