How to Make Darkest Chocolate Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Fold in 2 cups dark chocolate chips.
  5. Divide the dough in half. On two separate ungreased baking sheets, shape each half into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Slightly flatten the tops.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Let cool completely on baking sheets for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Using a serrated knife, slice each log diagonally into ½-inch thick biscotti. Arrange the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheets.
  8. Bake for another 30 minutes at 325°F (165°C), or until the biscotti are firm and dry.
  9. (Optional) Melt 4 ounces of dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Dip the bottoms of the cooled biscotti into the melted chocolate and let the chocolate set completely before serving.
