Yield 65 slices

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure coffee extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
7 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, or 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup unsalted shelled pistachios (6 ounces)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs at low speed until a crumbly dough forms. 2. In another bowl, beat the brown sugar with the butter and the vanilla, coffee and almond extracts until combined. Scrape the mixture into the crumbly dough and beat at medium speed until a soft, sticky dough forms. Add the chopped chocolate and shelled pistachios and beat at low speed just until evenly distributed. 3. Divide the dough into 4 clumps and transfer 2 of the clumps to each baking sheet. Form each clump into an 8-inch-long rope; pat the ropes until they're about 2 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. Bake for about 22 minutes, until the logs are puffed and springy to the touch; rotate the pans halfway through baking. Carefully transfer the logs to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 200°. 4. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs crosswise into scant 1/2-inch-thick slices; each log will yield about 20. Return the slices to the baking sheets and bake for about 30 minutes longer, flipping the biscotti once after 15 minutes, until crisp. Transfer to racks to cool.

These biscotti were a little too hard for my taste, but they still had a good flavor. I would recommend baking them for a little less time next time.

These biscotti were delicious! They were the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. The chocolate and pistachio flavors were also a great match. I will definitely be making these again.

These biscotti were a bit dry, but the flavors were good. I would recommend adding a little more butter or oil to the dough next time.

These biscotti were a little too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of biscotti, but these were really good! The chocolate and pistachio flavors were a nice combination, and the biscotti were nice and crispy.
