Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 cup mini 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 large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract into the egg and sugar mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log that is about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Wet your hands slightly to help shape the dough if needed, as it can be sticky.

Step 8

Bake the log in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the log cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Use a serrated knife to carefully slice the log into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.

Step 12

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the slices over, and bake for another 10 minutes until dry and crisp.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Store the biscotti in an airtight container; they will keep well for up to two weeks.
