Ingredients

The following ingredients have 60 Servings
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp plus ⅛ tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease two large baking sheets with butter or cooking spray, or line them with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground cayenne and mix in until all combined, taking care not to overmix.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Divide dough into four equally-sized sections. Shape each section into a long, thin log (mine were approximately 10" long, 2" wide, and 1" tall) and place on baking sheets. I put two lengthwise on each baking sheet, keeping a few inches of space between them. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 14-15 minutes, then remove the baking sheets from the oven. Using a sharp knife, slice logs into ¾-inch long strips on the diagonal. Place each biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet and put back in the oven. Bake for another 5-6 minutes to allow the sides to crisp up.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
