Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.25 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.75 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes paler in color, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the egg mixture, and stir until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no traces of flour remain. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips and sliced almonds, if using, until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Divide the dough into two equal portions, and on a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the logs are firm to the touch and slightly cracked on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Once the logs are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide slices.

Step 11

Arrange the biscotti slices cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes on each side, until they are dry and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
