Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Mix well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
  7. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log, about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  8. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  12. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1-inch thick biscotti.
  13. Place the biscotti back on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  14. Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 15 minutes until crispy.
  15. Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool completely before serving.
