Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, dust with 1/4 cup flour and set aside.

FANTASTIC DOUBLE CHOCOLATE-PECAN BISCOTTI
Since biscotti is a huge favorite at my house I am always searching for good biscotti recipes, this one is fantastic! --- if you make biscotti and love chocolate, then this is a recipe you should try! --- since the batter is quite stiff this dough is best prepared on a heavy-duty stand mixer, the recipe can be completely doubled to make four logs, they will keep tightly covered at room temperature for one week, or frozen for one month, feel free to use any other chopped nuts that you desired, walnuts work great with this also :)

SIMPLE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI
These are a perfect treat with a cup of coffee for breakfast, with tea in the afternoon or for a light dessert. Fancy enough for company but simple enough to make every day. Adding coffee granules enhances the flavor of the chocolate. I like to melt 1/4 cup white chips in a quart size freezer bag, cut off one tiny corner and drizzle the melted chips over the top of the biscotti once they have cooled completely.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and coffee granules in a bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Dived the dough in half and shape each into 8x2 inch flat rectangles about 1 inch thick. Place on the baking sheet 3 to 4 inches apart. Beat egg yolk with water in a small bowl. Brush over the top of each loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until both loaves are firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Cut each loaf diagonally into 3/4 inch slices. Place each slice, cut-side up onto the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake until the biscotti are dry, 10 to 15 minutes on each side. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal. Dark chocolate can also be used.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough biscotti. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and the dough starts to come together.
- Chill the dough before slicing and baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the biscotti twice. The first bake will dry out the biscotti and give them a crispy exterior. The second bake will toast the biscotti and give them a more intense flavor.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Conclusion:
Double chocolate biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, chewy, and full of chocolate flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of biscotti that everyone will love.
