Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups mini chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and incorporate it into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender, your hands, or a fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or your hands until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a rectangular log about 10 inches long and 2.5 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet. Place the logs at least 3 inches apart. If the dough is too sticky to handle, wet your hands slightly.

Step 7

Optional: Lightly brush the tops of the logs with milk for a shiny finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 10

Using a serrated knife, cut the logs diagonally into ¾-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 11

Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the slices over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden and crisp.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Step 13

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
