Ingredients for Almond Chocolate Biscotti

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • Sliced Almonds
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • Sugar
  • Almond Extract
  • 2 large eggs

How to Make Almond Chocolate Biscotti

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped almonds and chocolate chips.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove the log from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  10. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  11. Arrange the slices, cut side down, on the baking sheet.
  12. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
  13. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
