Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 100 grams Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add granulated sugar. Mix until light and frothy.

Step 4

Add vanilla extract and olive oil to the egg mixture and mix well to combine.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. The mixture will be thick.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using lightly floured hands, divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a log about 20cm long and 5cm wide.

Step 8

Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the logs are firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the logs cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.

Step 11

Once cool enough to handle, use a sharp serrated knife to cut the logs into 1cm thick slices.

Step 12

Arrange the slices cut-side down back on the baking sheet.

Step 13

Bake the slices for an additional 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes until crisp and golden brown.

Step 14

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