Chocolate Chocolate Biscotti Recipe

How to make it

---

• In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla.
• Combine the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Whisk together to blend. Gradually stir flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Cover and chill dough for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare two baking sheets by greasing or using parchment paper.
• Take dough out of the refrigerator and divide it evenly in half. Put half back in the bowl and return to refrigerator. Take the remaining half and divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece and form into a log about 9-10" long. Place each log onto a prepared baking sheet. Flatten each log to about 1" thick.
• Put sheets in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. (If one shelf will not hold both cookie sheets, bake each sheet separately. I didn't have much luck with this recipe using the two-rack-and-swap method.)
• Remove baking sheets from oven and allow to cool until you can handle them, usually 5 minutes is enough time. The logs are still hot but don't burn. Move flattened logs to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife and VERY light pressure, cut each log crosswise into slices about 3/4" thick.
• Place slices, bottom side down (standing on their bottoms) back onto cookie sheet. Return cookie sheet to oven for an additional 10-16 minutes to crisp.and dry.
• Remove from oven and cool completely. Store in airtight container.
