Double-Chocolate Biscotti With Cherries And Almonds
- 4 cups AP Flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cherry extract
- 1 cup slivered almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1.5 cups bittersweet chocolate chips, roughly chopped
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0 F.
- Butter and flour two large baking sheets or line with silpats.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder in a large bowl.
- In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle, beat together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and cherry extract. Beat until well combined.
- Incorporate the flour mixture on cup at a time to form a stiff dough.
- Turn the mixer on the lowest setting and add the almonds, cherries, and chocolate chips. Mix just until combined.
- Turn the dough out onto wax paper on the counter and divide into four equal parts.
- Flour your hands and work directly on one of the prepared baking sheets. Form two sections of dough into two slightly flattened logs, each about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Repeat with the other two logs on the second prepared baking sheet.
- Bake logs for 35 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch.
- Cool biscotti logs on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cutting board.
- Cut biscotti logs diagonally into 3/4-inch slices.
- Remove silpats from baking sheets (if using) and stand individual biscotti slices on their bottoms on sheets. The biscotti from two logs should fit on one baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake biscotti until crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove sheets from oven and let biscotti sit on baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
