Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 tsp vanilla extract. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Fold in 3/4 cup toasted slivered almonds.
  3. Step 3: Divide dough in half and shape each half into a 12-inch log on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and firm.
  4. Step 4: Remove logs from oven and reduce temperature to 325°F. Let logs cool for 10 minutes, then slice diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  5. Step 5: Arrange slices cut side down on baking sheet and bake for an additional 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until biscotti are dry and crisp.
  6. Step 6: Melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Dip one half of each biscotti slice into melted chocolate, place on parchment paper, and let chocolate set at room temperature before serving.
