Chocolate Almond Biscotti
- 13 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 14 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 34 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 13 cup plain soymilk
- 12 cup canola oil
- 1 cup almonds
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Toast almonds for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Let cool and then chop coarsely.
- Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set aside.
- In bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the sugar and eggs on high speed until thick, pale, and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- (When you slowly raise the beaters the batter will fall back into the bowl in slow ribbons.)
- At this point beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add to the egg mixture and beat until combined.
- Fold in the chopped almonds and chocolate.
- Transfer the dough to your parchment lined baking sheet and form into a log, about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) wide.
- You may have to dampen your hands to form the log as the dough is quite sticky.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer log to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, cut log into slices 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick on the diagonal.
- Place the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet.
- Bake 10 - 15 minutes, turn slices over, and bake another 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Store in an airtight container.
