Chocolate Biscotti Cookies

These crispy chocolate biscotti cookies have a double dose of chocolate and are made for dunking into a warm drink.

Biscotti are classic Italian cookies that are twice-baked to be extra crunchy. They are perfect for dunking, with an oblong shape that softens in a warm beverage, like coffee or hot chocolate. The classic almond biscotti is the traditional flavor, but it was only a matter of time before my not-so-secret love of chocolate had me tweaking the recipe.

For these chocolate biscotti recipe I swap some of the flour with cocoa powder and fold in chocolate chips and hazelnuts instead of almonds. If you’re also a chocolate lover like me, then these chocolate biscotti are made for you.
