Chocolate Biscotti

This has got to be the most decadent thing you can enjoy with a nice cup of coffee. It is divine.

Modified recipe from Allrecipes.com

• 1/2 C. butter, softened
• 2/3 C. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla 
• 1-3/4 C. flour
• 1/4 C. cocoa powder
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 C. chocolate chips

Combine dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and chocolate chips. It will form a stiff ball of dough. (I like to use my hands to work it all together.)

Divide the dough in half and place on a greased baking sheet. Shape each half of dough into a 9-inch long and 1 1/2-inch wide log.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes. Flip the baking sheet around for even baking and bake for 20-25 more minutes until golden and firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven but keep the oven on. Let biscotti cool until able to handle. Using a serrated knife, cut logs into 1/2-inch wide diagonal slices. Place biscotti cut side down on baking sheet. Bake again until pale golden, about 10-15 minutes.

Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
