Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cooled espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom, and cocoa powder, mixing well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and cooled espresso until smooth and slightly airy.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Split the dough into two equal portions and form each into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the logs for about 25-30 minutes until firm when touched.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing each log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- Optional nuts can add extra texture to the biscotti.
- Ensure the espresso is cooled before mixing with other ingredients.
