Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the biscotti will be. Look for good-quality chocolate, fresh coffee, and finely ground flour.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape and give them a crisp texture.
Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and firm. If they are too soft, they will not be crispy.
Dip the biscotti in chocolate or glaze while they are still warm. This will help the coating stick.
Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Mayan chocolate biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and crispy texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give Mayan chocolate biscotti a try.
