Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). 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. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until the dough comes together.

Step 6

Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half. Shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

Step 10

Transfer the logs to a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each log diagonally into 3/4-inch slices.

Step 11

Place the slices cut side down back on the baking sheet. Bake again for 10-12 minutes on each side until the biscotti are dry and crisp.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
