Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.75 cup dried cherries
- 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the dried cherries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
Step 8
Place the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip them over and bake for 10 more minutes, or until crisp and dry.
Step 9
Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
