Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.3333 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee or espresso powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped toasted hazelnuts or almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, instant coffee powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If it feels too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to bring it together.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half. On the prepared baking sheet, shape each portion into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.

Step 7

Bake the logs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until firm to the touch and lightly browned.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).

Step 9

Transfer the logs to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick biscotti pieces.

Step 10

Place the biscotti cut side down back on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and dry.

Step 11

Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
