Recipe for Chocolate Biscotti
Ingredients
- For the biscotti:
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ cup top quality cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- For the glaze:
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar
Cooking Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl sift together flour, baking soda, cocoa and salt.
In a large bowl beat together eggs, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, mix in nuts and chocolate chips until the dough just holds together.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. On a lightly floured surface, form the dough into 2 logs the length of the baking sheet. Transfer the logs to the baking sheet.
Gently flatten the tops of the logs. Beat the egg and brush generously over the logs (you won''t use it all). Sprinkle each log with the coarse sugar and bake for 25 mins or until the dough feels firm to the touch.
Remove and allow to cool for 15 mins. On a cutting board use a serrated bread knife to cut the cookies into ½'''' slices. Lay the cookies cut side down and return to the oven for 20 - 25 minutes until the cookies feel mostly firm.
If desired, cooled cookies can be half dipped in chocolate and left until the chocolate hardens. Store biscotti in an air tight container.
