How to Make Chocolate Biscotti No Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and a pinch of salt until light and frothy using an electric mixer.
  3. Gradually add 150g granulated sugar, whisking until pale and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 250g all-purpose flour, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 100g roasted hazelnuts (roughly chopped) and 100g dark chocolate chips.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 20 minutes.
  8. Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough in half.
  9. Shape each half into a log, about 25cm (10 inches) long and 5cm (2 inches) wide, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake for 5 minutes at 175°C (350°F).
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 150°C (300°F) and bake for another 15 minutes.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  13. Reduce oven temperature to 100°C (210°F). Using a serrated knife, cut each log into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the biscotti cut-side up back onto the baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn biscotti and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and completely dry.
  15. Let cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
