Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl and mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips and stir on low speed until just combined.
- Dust a work surface with flour. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the sticky dough out onto the work surface and dust the top of the dough lightly with flour. Using your hands, shape the dough into a rough ball (if it's still too sticky, dust with a bit more flour) and cut in half. Form the dough pieces into two short logs by rolling back and forth. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into longer logs about ¾-inch high and 2 inches wide. Allow enough space for the logs to spread a few inches while they bake. Bake for about 35 minutes, until firm to the touch. Let the biscotti logs cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, or until just cool enough to touch (if you wait any longer, the biscotti will be difficult to cut); then, using a sharp knife, slice the logs on the diagonal into ¾-inch slices (I do this right on the baking sheet). They will crumble just a bit; don't worry about it. Turn the biscotti on their sides (so that the cut sides are down) and place back in the oven for 10 minutes to dry and crisp up. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with coffee, tea or warm milk.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months: Shape the dough into logs, wrap each securely in plastic wrap, and place them in a sealable bag. When ready to bake, remove the logs from the freezer, thaw the dough until pliable, and then proceed with recipe. To freeze after baking: After the cookies are completely cooled, double-wrap them securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI
This Italian biscuit was originally made as a long-life foodstuff - baked twice until dry, and containing no fats, it was the ideal snack for travellers. These days biscotti are a sweet treat, made with a variety of nuts or fruits, but for the festive season we've gone for this lush chocolate version

Steps:
- Heat the oven 180ºC/gas 4. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
- Weigh out all the dry ingredients and very roughly chop the chocolate, pistachios and cranberries into chunks.
- Put the flour, cocoa, sugar, half of the chocolate, baking powder and ½ teaspoon of sea salt into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Beat together and add the eggs and vanilla and pulse until the dough just comes together.
- Tip onto a floured surface, add the pistachios and cranberries and work the dough to a ball.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape each piece into a log approximately 3cm x 30cm.
- Carefully transfer the dough logs onto one of the baking trays and bake for 25 minutes, until hard on the outside but not all the way through - this will allow you to slice the biscotti without the log crumbling. Leave to cool in the tin.
- With a serrated knife, cut the biscotti diagonally into 1.5cm-thick slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until firm. The biscuits may still seem a little soft but they will firm up as they cool.
- Melt the remaining chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Drizzle it over the biscotti and leave for about 20 minutes to set. These will keep in an airtight container for a few days.

CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a large baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate mixing bowl, cream the granulated sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- Stir in the flour mixture to form a stiff dough.
- Mix in the mini chocolate chips until combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Form the dough into two slightly flattened logs on prepared baking sheets, each approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut diagonally into 3/4-inch slices.
- Arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until crisp.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the chocolate ganache, combine the 1 cup of chocolate chips, cream, and espresso in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dip about 1/3 of each biscotti in the ganache. Lay the dipped biscotti on a cooling rack. Allow the biscotti to harden for several hours or overnight before wrapping for storage.

AUTHENTIC CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI
This is a variation on the almond biscotti recipe I posted. I prefer the almond biscotti but most of my friends prefer this recipe. I have tried hazelnuts, almonds, and semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate chips. All of them were great. I don't even have a favourite!

Steps:
- Adjust rack to center position and heat the oven to 350 degree. Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and white chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl combine the eggs, butter and vanilla and whisk to fully combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix to combine until a rough dough forms. Don't be concerned if the dough is crumbly- this is typical of biscotti dough. It will come together in the next step.
- Dump the dough onto a work surface and knead a couple of times until the dough comes together, adding extra flour sparingly and only if necessary. Start to form the dough into a big, fat cigar and cut it in half. Form each half into a cigar about 1 inch thick, 2 inches wide and about 12 inches long. Place them onto the cookie sheet and lightly press with fingers to slightly flat cigars.
- Bake for 25 minutes reversing the pan halfway through. The bars will be firm to the touch and just slightly browned. Remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 300 degrees. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
- Remove cookies to a cutting board using two spatulas. Using a serrated knife, slice the bars on an angle about 1/2 inch thick to form the biscotti. Lay them back on the cookie sheet with either cut side down and place back in oven for 12 minutes. Turn each cookie to expose the other cut side and place in oven for another 12 minutes. Let cool on a rack to room temperature. Place cookies in an airtight container.
