How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut 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 sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts 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.
  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 biscotti slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
  13. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
  14. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before glazing or dipping (optional).
  15. For an extra special touch, melt some white chocolate and dip the ends of the biscotti for a beautiful and delicious finish.
