Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chips or chunks
• 0.75 cups Roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped

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 together using a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture is light and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet egg mixture, stirring until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a long rectangular log, approximately 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Leave some space between them as they will spread slightly during baking.

Step 7

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are slightly firm to the touch. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 8

Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick biscotti slices.

Step 9

Lay the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 10 minutes until they are crisp and dry.

Step 10

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
