Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond or hazelnut extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup (60g) chopped almonds
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and nut extract (if using).
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped almonds.
- Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and shape it into a long, flat log, about 12 inches (30cm) long and 3 inches (8cm) wide.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, cut the log into 1/2-inch (1.3cm) thick slices. Lay the slices flat on the baking sheet.
- Return the slices to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake for another 10 minutes until fully dry and crisp.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the butter in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip one end of each biscotti into the melted chocolate and place them on the cooling rack. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing.
Notes
[‘Let the biscotti cool slightly after the first bake to prevent crumbling when slicing.’, ‘Use a serrated knife for clean cuts without crushing the biscotti.’, ‘Try to make each slice the same thickness for even baking.’, ‘Watch carefully during the second bake to avoid overly hard biscotti.’, ‘Add a small amount of butter or coconut oil to the chocolate for a smooth finish.’]
