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.

Didn't work for me

Followed the recipe exactly. The dough was sticky before baking and heavy and moist after 20 minute cooking time.Difficult to... slice. Ended up with rock hard biscotti. Read more

Great end result but difficult dough
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I make biscotti all the time with family recipes that have been passed down so I was very excited to try this chocolate... version (all of mine are more traditional). The dough consistency really scared me because it is very sticky- so it is not the normal consistency if you were to roll or pat it into the trademark log for biscotti. I added flour to it and as best I could spread it on the parchment expecting the worst. What I ended up with were perfectly delicious chocolate almond biscotti (I used almonds instead of hazelnuts). My family raved about them and they will now sit alongside our family cookies. Read more

Loved it!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Ive never made biscottis before but I've always been envious of the shelved chocolate biscottis on the shelf and their bakers... but this was so simple! The only suggestion I would make would be to put more chocolate chips in but thats just my personal preferance. Otherwise great recipie... my compliments!Read more

Good but a few things to change
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i made this biscotti but after baking i noticed the scent from the tablespoon of almond extract was extremely strong. i... would use a teaspoon of almond extract next time & also put it back in the oven after slicing the wedges of biscotti. Otherwise this is a good recipe & the end result is quite delicious! Read more
