Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ΒΌ tsp double acting baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 Tblsp unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup pecans, roasted and chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tblsp vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a food processor, process the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and add the chocolate and nuts. Stir to combine.
  3. Reserving 2 teaspoons of the eggs, combine the rest of the eggs with the vanilla and add to the flour mixture. Stir to combine and gently knead the dough into a ball. Flatten the dough into disc and chill for at least 30 minutes.

  5. Cool the logs slightly and slice them in the diagonal (you should have about 10 to 12 biscotti per log).
  6. Bake the slices for about 10 to 15 minutes or until dry and crispy.
