  Ingredients:

    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

How to make
Chocolate Walnut Biscotti
  • Preheat oven to 300 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
  • In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the chocolate and sugar and grind until the chocolate is very fine.
  • Set aside. In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the eggs and the vanilla. Beat at medium speed to blend. Reduce the speed to low, add the chocolate and flour mixtures and mix until a stiff dough forms, adding the walnuts when about half mixed. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gather it together. Divide in half. Form each half into a log 12 inches long.
  • Carefully transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Pat to even up the shapes.
  • Bake until almost firm to the touch, about 50 min. Let cool for 10 min.
  • Leave the oven set at 300 F.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the logs to a work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut on the diagonal into slices 1/2−3/4 inch thick.
  • Return the slices cut−side down to the baking sheet. Bake for 25 min.
  • Turn the slices over and bake until crispy and dry, about 25 min. longer.
  • Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
  • Makes about 2 1/2 dozen
