Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- 3/4 cup hazelnuts, skin on
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, sugar and baking powder. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, yolks and almond extract. Add wet mix to dry and stir until the dough comes together, about 2 minutes. Add hazelnuts and chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated. Roll the dough into 3 logs each about 10 by 2 inches. Place a piece of parchment onto a baking sheet and place logs on sheet. Place in oven and bake 20 minutes until light golden brown and remove. Allow to cool 5 minutes and cut logs on a slight diagonal into pieces 1/2-inch thick. Lower heat to 300. Return cut biscotti to baking sheet, just a little bit apart from each other, and place in oven. Bake 20 minutes until crisp and dry. Cool and serve.

All Mario's biscotti recipes are fabulous, this one is no different and just like the ones my husband and I adored in Tuscany.
I am making dozens for Christmas gifts!

whomever badly reviews this needs to try it again! This recipe is awesome, spoken from a NY Italian family and biscotti lover. My only mistake was too much almond extract, but still delicious! They were gone in an instant.

I am letting my biscotti cool so I can slice it and rebake the cookies. Guys, all the negative reviews are ridiculous! First of all, there was plenty of fat in this recipe! 6 full egg yolks is a lot of fat! And please remember to use your judgement when baking! If the recipe calls for 20 minutes, that doesn't always mean 20 minutes. Humidity, the size of your eggs, and your oven are just a few factors that can affect your baking times. Check the doneness on your own, rather than gripe at the chef! Also, for those of you who complained that the biscotti was rock hard... NEWSFLASH! They're supposed to be!!!
