Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips

Get Started

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the biscotti from sticking.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps of cocoa powder.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

Add Almonds and Chocolate Chips

Stir in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the Dough

Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each half into a log approximately 9 inches long and 2 inches wide.

First Bake

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Slice the Logs

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick biscotti. Place the biscotti cut-side up on the baking sheet.

Second Bake

Bake for an additional 5 minutes on each side, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden brown. Watch them closely to prevent burning.

Cool and Store

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
