Equipment
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 wire rack
- 1 serrated knife
Ingredients
- 2 cups / 240g all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup / 150g sugar
- 1/4 cup / 25g almond flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a paddle attachment on your mixer, blend together sugar, flour, almond flour, salt and baking powder.
- Add 2 eggs, melted butter and vanilla and beat on low until a dough starts to form and it will be a little crumbly. Add 1/2 cup / 88g semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix again.
- Move dough to a slightly floured surface and knead a few times making a cohesive dough and the divide it into two halves. Shape each half into a 1" thick (5 x 3 inch) rectangle and place unto a prepared pan about 4" apart. Brush the top of the dough with beaten egg wash.
- Bake until dough is cracked and outside is lightly brown, about 30 minutes. Take the loaves out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325℉.
- Using a serrated knife, cut each loaf into 1 inch wide slices and put back on the backing sheet cut-side down. Bake an additional 20 minutes until lightly browned.
- Transfer them back to the wire rack to completely cool. After they are cooled use 1 1/2 cups / 263g semi-sweet chocolate morsels and melt in a microwave at 30 second intervals until melted. Dip each biscotti in the melted chocolate and allow to dry on a wire rack.
