Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs using an electric mixer on medium speed until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) to the egg mixture and mix until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick dough forms. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and, using wet hands, shape it into a long, slightly flattened log approximately 12 inches long and 4 inches wide.
Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch and slightly cracked on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Once cooled slightly, use a sharp serrated knife to slice the log diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.
Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip each piece over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until dry and crisp.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
