Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts (almonds or hazelnuts optional)
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped for dipping
Sprinkles or crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract together, then add to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Fold in the nuts if using.
Shape the Dough: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
First Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Slice the Biscotti: Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.
Second Bake: Place the slices cut side down back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until dry and crisp. Let cool completely.
Dip in Chocolate: Melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Dip the ends of each biscotti into the chocolate and place on parchment paper to set. Optionally, sprinkle with crushed nuts or sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Serve: Enjoy your chocolate dipped biscotti with coffee, tea, or as a festive Christmas dessert.
