How to Make Authentic 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 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 chocolate chips and nuts of your choice.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
7. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
10. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
11. Using a serrated knife, slice the cooled log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
12. Arrange the slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
13. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
14. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
