Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups slivered almonds
- 0.25 cups melted dark chocolate (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and slivered almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.
Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1-inch-thick biscotti pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake the biscotti slices for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispness.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle the cooled biscotti with melted dark chocolate for an extra touch of decadence.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or enjoy immediately with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
