instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients together.

    3

    In another bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

    4

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a thick dough.

    5

    Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of chopped almonds until evenly distributed.

    6

    On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, form the dough into a log shape, about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide.

    7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until firm to the touch.

    8

    Remove the log from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then, slice it diagonally into 1-inch wide pieces.

    9

    Place the slices back on the baking tray and bake for an additional 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp.

    10

    Let them cool completely before serving. Enjoy your Biscotti al Cioccolato!

How to be creative
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter for a mocha flavor.
  • Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled biscotti for an elegant touch.
  • Incorporate different nuts like hazelnuts or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
Important Tips
  • Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Don't overbake the biscotti during the second round; they should be crispy yet not overly hard.
  • Let them rest after slicing for a few minutes before the second baking for a softer center.
