Yield makes about 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (155 g) almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
7 ounces (200 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch (1.5-cm) chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and the baking powder.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until the mixture thickens and holds its shape, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, then mix in the almonds and chocolate.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough in half. Using dampened hands, shape each half into a log 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter. Set the logs lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spacing them apart. Dampen your hands and smooth the surface of the logs.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheet midway through baking, until the logs are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. (They will flatten out during baking.) Remove the baking sheet from the oven and decrease the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the logs to a cutting board. With a serrated bread knife, cut each log diagonally into slices 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick. Place the cookies, cut sides up, in a single layer on the baking sheet. (If necessary, use an additional baking sheet.) Bake until the biscotti are firm, about 20 minutes, flipping them midway through baking. Let cool completely; they'll continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Storage
  • The biscotti will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Variation
  • You can substitute 1 1/2 cups (240 g) chocolate chips for the chopped chocolate, if you like, although I prefer the irregularity of chocolate chunks in these cookies.

I'm not a fan of almonds, so I substituted walnuts instead. They turned out great!

These were a little bland for my taste. Maybe I should have added more chocolate chips.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biscotti didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a little dry.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscotti came out too hard. Maybe I overbaked them.

These biscotti turned out amazing! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with the perfect balance of sweetness from the chocolate chunks and almonds.
