A delightful twist on the classic biscotti, featuring double chocolate and a hint of almond for a rich and satisfying treat.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder to the butter and mix until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth.
Adding eggs one at a time helps them incorporate better.
Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
If the dough becomes too stiff, switch to mixing with a spatula.
Stir in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips.
Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 9 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Use lightly floured hands to prevent sticking.
Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them, and flatten slightly.
Flattening the logs ensures even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until firm to the touch.
Check for doneness by pressing lightly on the surface of the logs.
Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the logs makes them easier to slice without crumbling.
Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
A serrated knife helps achieve clean cuts without crushing the biscotti.
Place the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 8 minutes.
Baking the slices cut side down ensures even crisping.
Flip the slices over and bake for an additional 7-9 minutes or until dry and crisp.
Keep an eye on the biscotti to prevent overbaking.
Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Cooling completely ensures the biscotti stay crisp.
