How to Make Chocolate Walnut Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate and ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar. Process until finely ground.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Beat at medium speed until blended.
  8. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add the chocolate mixture and dry ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Stir in 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts when the dough is about half mixed.
  9. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it together.
  10. Divide the dough in half.
  11. Shape each half into a 12-inch log.
  12. Carefully transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Gently pat to even out the shapes.
  13. Bake for 50 minutes, or until almost firm to the touch.
  14. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
  15. Leave the oven temperature at 300°F (150°C).
  16. Using a spatula, transfer the logs to a wire rack.
  17. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs diagonally into ½- to ¾-inch thick slices.
  18. Return the slices, cut-side down, to the baking sheet.
  19. Bake for 25 minutes.
  20. Flip the slices and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and completely crisp.
  21. Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
  22. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
