Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti

Cocoa powder and chocolate lend rich, fudgy flavor to these twice-baked treats. They are thicker than most biscotti, and perfect for dunking in milk or coffee.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 1 dozen

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for baking sheet
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup shelled pistachios (4 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2

    Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat on low speed until well combined, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary. Add flour mixture; beat to form stiff dough. Beat in pistachios and chocolate chips until just combined.

    Step 3

    Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet; form into a slightly flattened log, about 12 by 4 inches. Bake until slightly firm, about 25 minutes. Cool about 5 minutes. Reduce oven to 300°F.

    Step 4

    On a cutting board, using a sharp, serrated knife, cut biscotti diagonally into 1-inch-thick slices. Arrange cut sides down on baking sheet; bake until crisp but still slightly soft in center, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
