Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Anise extract
• 1 cup Roasted almonds, chopped
• 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large 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

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and anise extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chopped roasted almonds.

Step 5

On a floured surface, divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Flip the biscotti and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until crisp and golden on both sides. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Step 10

Dip one end of each biscotti into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set. Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving or storing.

Step 11

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