Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
  7. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log, about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the log cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  10. Transfer the cooled log onto a cutting board and slice it diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  11. Place the sliced biscotti back onto the baking sheet, cut side down.
  12. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the biscotti are dry and crispy.
  13. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
