Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 3 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped (about ½ cup)
- ½ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk the flours, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
- Place the eggs, sugars and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until well incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and continue to mix until a stiff dough forms. Add the dark chocolate and almonds and mix until they are incorporated into the dough.
- Divide the dough in half and place the balls of dough on a cutting board dusted lightly with flour or cocoa powder. Roll each ball out into a log roughly 9 inches long by 2 inches wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with a nonstick silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Press down on the top of the logs to flatten them slightly.
- Bake 26-30 minutes until firm to touch. As they cook, the logs will spread out slightly.
- Remove from the oven and cool them on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then transfer the logs to a cutting board and using a serrated knife, cut them on a diagonal into ½-inch slices. Arrange the slices upright on the baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook an additional 15-20 minutes (cook longer for extra crispy biscotti). Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving. For an extra chocolaty treat, dip the ends of the biscotti into melted chocolate and let harden before serving.
Notes
- For an extra chocolaty treat, dip one end of the biscotti into melted chocolate and let it harden before serving.
