Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup 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
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and 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 bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and almonds until evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are set but still slightly soft in the center.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing the logs into biscotti shapes.
  10. Place the biscotti back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and dry.
  11. Allow the biscotti to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
