Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons optional coarse sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a 10-inch-long log, approximately 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the logs for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the logs to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).

Step 10

Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick biscotti pieces. 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 they are dry and crisp.

Step 12

Remove the biscotti from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. The biscotti will harden as they cool.

Step 13

Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or package them as gifts to share with friends and family.
