Almond and Dark Chocolate Biscotti
Cook:
Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
Process
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in almonds and chocolate.
  3. Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
  4. Place the log on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into ½ to ¾-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
