Steps:
- In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together eggs, egg whites and vanilla extract. Gradually add egg mixture to flour mixture blending on low. Toss almonds with chocolate chips then add to flour mixture and blend just until combined.
- On a well floured surface roll dough into 2 logs, 2 inches in diameter. Place on a greased sheet pan and brush with beaten egg. Bake at 350 degrees until light golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Allow logs to cool 15 minutes then cut into slices on the bias. Place slices on a greased sheet pan and bake in a 350 degree oven until toasted, about 15-20 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- For the best texture, use a high-quality cake mix. A good cake mix will have a fine crumb and a moist texture.
- Be sure to chill the dough before slicing and baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture.
- When dipping the biscotti in chocolate, be sure to coat them evenly. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over the biscotti for a more decadent look.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the biscotti for up to 3 months.
