Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the softened butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 of the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a rectangle about 10 x 4 inches.

Step 6

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until smooth, stirring between each increment.

Step 7

Spread the melted chocolate mixture onto one rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges. Place the second rectangle of dough on top and press the edges gently to seal.

Step 8

Transfer the dough sandwich onto the prepared baking sheet. Beat the remaining egg and lightly brush it over the top of the dough.

Step 9

Bake for 25 minutes or until the loaf is golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 10

Allow the baked loaf to cool for 10 minutes, then slice it into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp, serrated knife.

Step 11

Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Flip the biscotti over and bake for another 10-15 minutes until crisp and dry.

Step 12

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with cocoa powder if desired and serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
