How to Make Chocolaty Cherry Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ⅔ cup (150g) semi-sweet chocolate chips on high for 45 seconds; stir until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks, 225g) unsalted butter and ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Stir in the melted chocolate.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Stir in 1 cup (140g) dried cherries and 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a 9 x 2 ½-inch log.
  10. Place logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the logs are slightly firm to the touch and cracked on top.
  12. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  13. Transfer the logs to a cutting board and cut each into 12 (¾-inch) slices.
  14. Return the biscotti to the baking sheet, cut-side down.
  15. Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until firm.
  16. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  17. Melt the remaining ⅓ cup (75g) chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bag or double boiler. Drizzle over the cooled biscotti.
  18. Let the drizzle set before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
