Chocolate Almond Biscotti
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almonds whole, skinned
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cup + 2 tbs all-purpose flour
- 2 tbs cocoa
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 - 1 1/2 tsp honey
- orange zest from 1/2 an orange
- 3 1/2 oz dark chocolate good quality
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- On an unlined cookie sheet toast almonds for approximately 5 minutes in the pre-heated oven. Remove from oven, move to a small bowl and let cool.
- In a medium bowl beat eggs and sugar to combine, then add flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, honey, vanilla and zest and combine with a wooden spoon, then fold in the almonds.
- Move to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead into a soft dough.
- Divide into 2-3 parts and form into 2-3 logs (I found 3 logs to be just right). Approximately 8-10 inches long, place on prepared cookie sheet and brush with beaten egg (a small egg), bake for approximately 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let sit 5 minutes and then cut each log into 1/4 inch slices on the diagonal, place cut side up on the cookie sheet and bake again for approximately 5-10 minutes or until dry. Let cool completely before dipping in melted chocolate. Enjoy!
