Time 1h

Yield Makes 44

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir in pistachios and chocolate. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, vanilla, and cocoa. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined (dough will be stiff, so mix with hands if necessary).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Divide dough in half and place on sheet. Shape into two 2 1/2-by-12-inch logs and sprinkle top of each with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until risen and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Let logs cool completely on sheet, about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce oven to 300 degrees. Using a serrated knife, cut logs crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake until biscotti are dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
