Almond and Chocolate Chunk Biscotti

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and the baking powder.
  4. In a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until the mixture thickens and holds its shape, about 5 minutes.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, then mix in the almonds and chocolate.
  6. On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough in half.
  7. Using dampened hands, shape each half into a log 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter.
  8. Set the logs lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spacing them apart.
  9. Dampen your hands and smooth the surface of the logs.
  10. Bake, rotating the baking sheet midway through baking, until the logs are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  11. (They will flatten out during baking.)
  12. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and decrease the oven temperature to 300F (150C).
  13. Let the logs cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes.
  14. Transfer the logs to a cutting board.
  15. With a serrated bread knife, cut each log diagonally into slices 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick.
  16. Place the cookies, cut sides up, in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  17. (If necessary, use an additional baking sheet.)
  18. Bake until the biscotti are firm, about 20 minutes, flipping them midway through baking.
  19. Let cool completely; theyll continue to firm up as they cool.
  20. The biscotti will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  21. You can substitute 1 1/2 cups (240 g) chocolate chips for the chopped chocolate, if you like, although I prefer the irregularity of chocolate chunks in these cookies.
