Ingredients
 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened (170g)
 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar (265g)
 3 large eggs room temperature preferred
 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (345g)
 ½ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
 1 Tablespoon baking powder
 ¾ teaspoon table salt
 ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (85g)
 ⅔ cup mini chocolate chips (113g) (see note)
Instructions
 Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
 In a large bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment) combine butter and sugar
and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined.
 Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
 In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
 With mixer on low-speed, gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 3-4 parts, stirring
until flour is completely incorporated after each addition.
 Stir in chocolate chips.
 Divide dough into two mounds on prepared baking sheet (spacing at least 4”/10cm apart as the
dough will spread and you don’t want the biscotti loaves to bake together) and use your hands to
form each into a loaf that is 12” (30cm) long by 2” (5cm) wide. If the dough is too sticky to
manage easily, lightly dust your hands with flour to help you form it.
 Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool
completely before proceeding.
 Once cooled, slice loaves diagonally into slices that are approximately 1” (2.5cm) thick. Place
cut-side down on baking sheet and return to 350F (175C) oven to bake for 12 minutes, then
carefully flip each slice of biscotti and return to oven to bake for another 10-12 minutes.
 Allow biscotti to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes
Cocoa powder
You may substitute Dutch-process cocoa powder, note that the flavor will be slightly deeper and more
intense.

Chocolate chips
I like to use a mix of mini and regular-sized chocolate chips, however you can substitute the regular for
mini or vice versa. You may also substitute your favorite type of chocolate chips (milk, dark, or even
white chocolate). If desired, throw in a handful (about ½ cup) of chopped nuts, such as walnuts, as well!
