Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chunks
1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (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 bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and add vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until combined.
Add Chocolate: Fold in the chocolate chunks and sliced almonds if using.
Shape the Biscotti: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Use your hands to form the logs into heart shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Logs: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until firm to the touch. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Slice and Bake Again: Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Place the sliced biscotti back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crisp.
Cool and Serve: Allow to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
